Description:

Without edk2-ovmf, gnome-boxes doesn't have UEFI support and is for example unable to boot the gnome-os image: `Boot failed: Could not read from CD-ROM (code 0009)`


Steps to reproduce:
- Do not have edk2-ovmf installed
- Install gnome-boxes
- Create a new virtual machine using "operating system download" menu and choose "GNOME OS Nightly"
- Wait for it to download the image and notice how it's unable to boot it
