Screen Resolution change not saved across restarts
When starting QEMU you can click esc to enter the boot menu to change the resolution to 1024x768. After a reboot it will change the resolution accordingly. I think the partition for efi variables is missing.
Looks like ACVM did not implement nvram, therefore EFI settings are not saved across boot.
ed2k provides an nvram template vars-template-pflash.raw
and can be used by adding an additional of pflash drive. For example:
-drive file=vars-template-pflash.raw,format=raw,if=pflash,index=1
nvram can be used across different VMs, but perhaps isolate them will be a better idea?
Isolating them is a better idea because Linux will not boot if windows bootloadervars are in the efi nvram partition.
I just threw together a quick pull request to resolve this. Basically it creates a nvram image in the same directory as the source Main Image. It uses that image name + .nvram. So this should allow to have unique nvram images per instance.
Depending on how much legs this project has, it might be nice to make a sort of "VM Manager", and maintain configs per VM, and allow for launching, editing, etc of these configs.

This fork right here already did such thing and added a VM Manager... https://github.com/ubenmackin/ACVM
@albatrosify that's actually my fork :-)
