Why I keep received 2 copies email again?

I just try out to see if OpenBSD can boot UEFI mode under qemu, so no need to create an image. I've booted OpenBSD under UEFI mode, but the font is very small, the qemu window is very tall, I can't see the bottom lines of texts.

Maybe removing "-machine q35" makes qemu works in BIOS compatible mode, not UEFI mode? -- kevin
OpenBSD UEFI on QEMU emulator
Hello misc@. I want to try out OpenBSD UEFI. How to install OpenBSD with UEFI boot on qemu? The install68.iso has no UEFI support. My following command on Linux can't boot OpenBSD UEFI. qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm \ -machine q35 \ -cpu host \ -smp cores=4,threads=1 \ -m 1G \ -bios /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd \ -drive file=install68.img,format=raw -- kevin
