[PATCH 05/13] docs: formatdomain: Clarify that NVRAM template is also being autoselected

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The NVRAM template file may be autoselected same as the loader/firmware
image. Add a hint that this can occur and also that it doesn't
necessarily need to be from the 'qemu.conf' configured files.
