Booting UEFI

To boot UEFI systems using QEMU, the UEFI firmware replacing the BIOS implementation needs to be provided while starting QEMU.

The following installs a script, that always starts QEMU with OVMF firmware implementing UEFI support.

 environment = {
   (pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "qemu-system-x86_64-uefi" ''
     qemu-system-x86_64 \
       -bios ${pkgs.OVMF.fd}/FV/OVMF.fd \
       "$@"
   '')
 };
