* The EFI shell is built into OVMF builds at this time, so it should\r
run automatically if a UEFI boot application is not found on the\r
removable media.\r
-* On Linux, newer version of QEMU may enable KVM feature, and this might cause OVMF\r
- to fail to boot. The QEMU '-no-kvm' may allow OVMF to boot.\r

+\r
+=== Build Scripts ===\r
+\r
+On systems with the bash shell you can use OvmfPkg/build.sh to simplify\r
+building and running OVMF.\r
+\r
+So, for example, to build + run OVMF X64:\r
+$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a X64\r
+$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a X64 qemu\r
+\r
+And to run a 64-bit UEFI bootable ISO image:\r
+$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a X64 qemu -cdrom /path/to/disk-image.iso\r
+\r
+To build a 32-bit OVMF without debug serial messages using GCC 4.5:\r
+$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a IA32 -b RELEASE -t GCC45\r
+\r
+=== Network Support ===\r
+\r
+To add network drivers to OVMF:\r
+\r
+* Download UEFI drivers for the e1000 NIC\r
+ - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17515&lang=eng\r
+ - Install the drivers into a directory called Intel3.5 in your WORKSPACE\r
+\r
+* Include the drivers in OVMF during the build:\r
+ - Add '-D NETWORK_ENABLE' to your build command\r
+ - For example: build -D NETWORK_ENABLE\r
+\r
* Use the QEMU -net parameter to enable NIC support.\r
- * QEMU does not support UEFI DHCP or UEFI PXE Boot, so lomg timeouts will occur\r
- when NICs are enabled. The long timeouts can be avoided by interrupts the \r
- boot sequence by pressing a key when the logo appears. \r
- * Enable e1000 NIC with a DHCP server and restrict packet forwarding\r
