seabios has a few flags too, in etc/. Some of them are supported
directly by qemu (such as setting the boot menu delay). Others are not,
and I'd like to be able to use -fw_cfg for them for testing/debugging
(any use cases beyond that should be supported by adding a less obscure
way to set them to qemu, similar to the boot delay).
Oh, and that'll most likely be more seabios testing than qemu testing,
so why require me build a special qemu version for that?
On the ovmf flags: What kind of flags are there? Anything a normal
user might want to set?
cheers,
Gerd
