 === RUNNING OVMF on QEMU ===\r

 * QEMU 0.9.1 or later is required.\r
-* Either copy, rename or symlink OVMF.fd => bios.bin\r
+* Either copy, rename or symlink OVMF.Fv => bios.bin\r
+* Either copy, rename or symlink CirrusLogic5446.rom => vgabios-cirrus.bin\r
 * Be sure to use qemu-system-x86_64, if you are using and X64 firmware.\r
   (qemu-system-x86_64 works for the IA32 firmware as well, of course.)\r
-* Use the QEMU -L parameter to specify the directory where bios.bin\r
-  is located.\r
-* If QEMU returns an error about not finding a video bios, you can\r
-  try creating an empty copy of the video bios file, or copy the\r
-  video bios from QEMU's BIOS directory.\r
+* Use the QEMU -L parameter to specify the directory where the bios.bin\r
+  and vgabios-cirrus.bin files are located.\r
 * Optionally you can use the QEMU -serial command to capture the\r
   OVMF debug messages.  For example: -serial file:serial.log\r
 * 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
