Does the drive of "install68.img" appear on the boot menu on BIOS?

At least on my linux machine,

qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -smp cores=4,threads=1 -m 1G
-bios /usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd
-drive file=install68.img,format=raw

doesn't boot as well. The drive doesn't appear on the boot menu.
But by removing "-machine q35" from the line, it booted successfully.
