Ubuntu – Android-x86_64 installer does not boot in QEMU/KVM – EFI Shell appears instead

I downloaded Android x86_64 5.1-rc1 as bootable img installation image.

I want to install it to a virtual machine running on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit with UEFI using QEMU/KVM and virt-manager as graphical front end.

OVMF is installed and the hypervisor should be correctly configured, as a test VM of Ubuntu with UEFI which had its virtual disk files and installer image in the same place works fine.

However, when I boot a freshly created VM with the settings dumped below and the downloaded Android-x86 image mounted into the virtual CD drive, it does not boot but shows an EFI Shell:

What am I doing wrong here? How can I install Android-x86 in a QEMU/KVM?
