QEMU no boot device

Software & Operating Systems Linux
1

Hi, I have been working on setting up gpu passthrough the last couple days and its been going well but I have ran into an issue. The problem I am running into is there are no boot devices when I power on the virtual machine. It drops me into an EFI shell with none of the options being bootable. From other examples I saw online, one of the entries in the EFI shell will have fs0 instead of BLK# to the left of the names.
Some misc information, I am running Arch kernel version 4.13.12 with the latest versions from the repositories. Im trying to install Windows 8.1 into a virtual machine. I have tried multiple ISOs and no luck.

I have spent some time working on this and decided to go ahead and use the command line tools instead of gui tools. I found some tutorials on making a script to run the command qemu-system-x86_64 and found that the lines -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_code_x64.bin and -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/tmp/my_vars.bin are the ones that are preventing me from booting. Without those two lines, I am able to boot properly. I am assuming that this is needed but looking at the arch wiki for setting up an OVMF-based guest VM in which it says to edit the qemu.conf and add:

nvram = [
	"/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_code_x64.bin:/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_vars_x64.bin"
]

So my thinking is that I dont need those two lines in my script since I had added that to my qemu.conf. Some direction would be helpful.

Here is the script I run:

#!/bin/bash                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

vmname="windows8.1-mining"

if ps -A | grep -q $vmname; then
   echo "$vmname is already running." &
   exit 1
