runqemu on genericarm64: "u-boot.bin not found" error

Ross, all,

Probably not a surprise for some of you, but I figured it's good to 
report this somewhere:

I generated an image for the "genericarm64" machine, and when trying to 
use the "runqemu" command, I get this error:

$ runqemu nographic slirp
runqemu - INFO - Running bitbake -e  ...
runqemu - ERROR - BIOS 
/home/mike/work/yocto/master/poky/build-genericarm64/tmp/deploy/images/genericarm64/u-boot.bin 
not found
runqemu - INFO - Cleaning up
runqemu - INFO - Host uptime: 670446.07

That's not a surprise, as the bootloader for this image is based on grub.

I tried to modify meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/genericarm64.conf to use 
the "grub-efi-bootaa64.efi" file instead. However, while runqemu doesn't 
complain any more, the virtual machine doesn't seem to boot.

Any workaround for testing the "genericarm64" machine through the 
"runqemu" script?

In the long run, it would be great if the normal "runqemu" command 
worked out of the box.

Cheers
Michael.
