I have successfully installed QEMU to do VGA passthrough. I can get the guest to read the Ubuntu ISO and it will find the img drive I have allocated with



fallocate -l 100G /VMs/VMs/video_gpu.img


The install appears to go fine. When I remove the -drive line with the ISO, I fall to the EFI shell. Some answers have suggested to simply "exit", but I get a BIOS menu, and nothing there seems to help me boot to the drive.



If I proceed to try to reinstall Ubuntu Guest, the installer will detect an existing Ubuntu and will ask to install alongside it.



Did I misconfigure the -drive options below?



qemu-system-x86_64 
-name $vmname,process=$vmname
-machine type=q35,accel=kvm
-cpu host,kvm=off
-smp 4,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2
-m 16G
-mem-prealloc
-balloon none
-rtc clock=host,base=localtime
-vga none
-nographic
-serial none
-parallel none
-soundhw hda

-drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd
