with a press of the ESC button during boot), or you have to choose
SPICE as the display type.
+When using OVMF for PXE/iPXE booting or "HTTP Booting", your VM need a Random Number Generator device (e.g. VirtIO RNG).
+Without this device, uEFI boot won't get PXE/iPXE option, nor HTTP BOOT.
+
+- Simply shutdown the VM
+- Go to the item "Hardware" of your VM
+- Clic on "Add"
+- Select "VirtIO RNG"
+- You can let default settings, or you know what you're doing
+- Now your VM is able to boot through PXE/iPXE/HTTP (ipv4/ipv6)
