===== What? =====
My notes on using uefi on KVM.

===== setup on Fedora 23 =====
<code>
dnf install dnf-plugins-core
dnf config-manager --add-repo http://www.kraxel.org/repos/firmware.repo
dnf install edk2.git-ovmf-x64
# kraxel++
</code>
  * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_UEFI_with_QEMU

===== running a UEFI-KVM guest =====
<code>
virt-install ... -boot uefi ...
i.e.
virt-install -n $HOSTNAME -r 1024 --vcpus 2 --cpu host \
  --disk path=/img/tvm.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio,cache=unsafe \
  --location http://192.168.4.1/repos/$DISTRO \
  --graphics none --virt-type kvm --os-type linux \
  --boot uefi,menu=on,useserial=on \
  --console pty --os-variant rhel7 \
  --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio \
  --extra-args "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 net.ifnames=0"
