| Post subject: | Simplify instructions on how to use QEMU with UEFI |
The wiki page on UEFI presents many ways of creating a properly formatted GPT disk image, to be used to boot a UEFI application. However, QEMU supports treating a local directory as a Virtual FAT filesystem. This feature exists in QEMU 0.11 or newer (so any QEMU from 2009 or newer). In other words, the whole section can be reduced to: Code: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=fat:some/uefi/directory,format=raw I've tested this on QEMU and it's able to properly boot UEFI applications from a directory. No root required, and it could even be modified to write / create files in the directory (using "file=fat:rw:some/dir"). I would like the opinion of other wiki editors, should these instructions be moved to a new page, or kept there? |
