<title>Using systemd-boot in virtual machines.</title>
<para>When using qemu with OVMF (UEFI Firmware for virtual machines) the <option>-kernel</option> switch
works not only for linux kernels, but for any EFI binary, including sd-boot and unified linux
kernels. Example command line for loading sd-boot on x64:</para>
<para>
<command>qemu-system-x86_64 <replaceable>[ ... ]</replaceable>
-kernel /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi</command>
</para>
<para>systemd-boot will detect that it was started directly instead of being loaded from ESP and will
search for the ESP in that case, taking into account boot order information from the hypervisor (if
available).</para>
