The countdown completes and the startup script runs (I can add an echo to
check it). So it must be the test that fails.

Yes, this is what ./arm/efi/run does, and it doesn't help to use the
command line directly.

This actually doesn't work. I was actually doing

 fs0:
 cd timer
 ls
 timer.efi

and, believe it or not, without the 'ls' I get the dabt, with the 'ls' the
test runs and passes. Adding an 'ls' to the startup script doesn't help
the automatic execution though.

Which versions of QEMU and edk2 are you using? And what file system do you
have the efi-tests directory on?
