+Following the edk2 build process, you will find the OVMF binaries
+under the $WORKSPACE/Build/*/*/FV directory. The actual path will
+depend on how your build is configured. You can expect to find
+these binary outputs:
+* OVMF.fd
+* CirrusLogic5446.rom

+More information on building OVMF can be found at:

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