Re: How to enable UEFI?

[Frantisek Rysanek]

Hello Steve,

I have a faint recollection that, when I compiled QEMU from source, 
there was a choice of the BIOS / UEFI ROM image to load, as a runtime 
option... somehow I was supposed to provide a path to the images, if 
I wanted to change the default, which is SeaBIOS (legacy BIOS 
services).

This might be a good pointer to start from:

At least that's what Google has divulged upon my first query. 
There were other hits, see for yourself if you want:

Good luck :-)
