Hi.
IMHO it would be helpful to add a README.Debian with instructions about
how one can male libvirt based systems using the ovmf firmware, e.g.
OVMF and libvirt
----------------
In order to make libvirt managed QEMU VMs use another system firmware (than the
default) one has to set the pathname of the firmware file in the
“domain/os/loader” element of the VM’s XML-configuration.
For example:
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>Virtual-Machine-Name</name>
<uuid>df03d579-9a26-4724-bf54-f9c339b1359f</uuid>
<os>
<type>hvm</type>
<loader>/usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd</loader>
…
</os>
…
</domain>
Note, that the XML-configuration cannot be edited directly but for example via:
# virsh edit Virtual-Machine-Name
