[vfio-users] OVMF + OS X El Capitan + 970 gtx passthrough = Success

[Andrew Morgan]

Hey Okky,

This is what I see when I boot the VM using this script
(http://ix.io/lYq) provided from the forum thread mentioned earlier
(http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309087-insanely-fast-virtual-mac-qemu-ovmf-clover-and-native-graphics/):

I don't see any way to boot the El Capitan iso from here. I also agree
that the resolution is too small to view all of the boot options.
