This isn't currently supported; you must use -kernel. (Also, you'll need a -device virtio-blk-device... argument to go with that -drive option to tell QEMU where to plug your disk in.) (We are working on support for booting a UEFI bios, and when that is landed you'll be able to say -bios uefi.bin -drive... -device virtio-blk-device... to get the UEFI blob to read the disk image. But that's not supported yet.) thanks -- PMM
