Cannot boot installation media in Proxmox

Not sure what's going on here but I have tried booting the live iso as attached to CD/DVD, also importing the official "Basic" VM.

This VM simply will not boot into uefi mode.

Arch ISO release dated 1.11.21

Proxmox 7.1-4

VM Options:
- BIOS: OVMF
- EFI disk attached
- Have tried using all Hard Disk types: IDE, SATA, ISCSI, etc..

Re: Cannot boot installation media in Proxmox

Turns out Proxmox has SecureBoot enabled by default. Turning it off in the boot menu of the VM, save with F10 and boot the disk.

This should really go into the installation docs as a note for VM installations.
