Hello.

I have used original aarch64 ISO from
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/releases/aarch64/alpine-virt-3.11.2-aarch64.iso
I use QEMU 4.1.0 on windows. I use edk2-aarch64-code.fd as UEFI
bios.and arrch64 ISO as -cdrom.
It normally boots UEFI and then starts GRUB from above ISO. It
contains only "Linux virt" menuitem and after I press enter on it it
fails to start linux. There are some messages but it quickly returns
to GRUB menu, so I can't read it. Then I used grub command line to try
to set root and kernel manually, but it fails to read partitions from
ISO.

So that's the steps I have tried.
