Have you had this particular qemu command line work for you in the
last? What you have there specifies that the machine should use the
OVMF code as a "bios" image, but doesn't give an extra storage area
for the firmware settings. What I use in scripts here uses the pflash
image interface to add both:
"-pflash OVMF.fd -pflash storage.fd"
This really isn't well documented in terms of driving stuff - most
people end up using libvirt and its tools to drive qemu/kvm.
My own dirty, hacky script for testing d-i images is at [1] in case
that helps.
