<p>You see... it's a very specific thing I'm doing here... and it's
not entirely like dual booting at all. I'm even giving a talk on
it at BSDCan (which is now virtual, apparently).</p>
<p>So to first be plain, there are only two installs... win10 and
FreeBSD-12. Both boot from what now subs in for BIOS. Both can be
the HOST.</p>
<p>Now Win10's VM stuff will only natively allow you to add either
virutal files (which don't boot in BIOS) or _WHOLE _DISKS_ to a
VM. Using the latter, and some magic, FreeBSD boots both on bare
metal and on Hypervisor. If you want the details, attend BSDCan
virtually.</p>
<p>FreeBSD is happy to boot a partition, but since Windows is on
it's own disk, I don't even have that problem. The big problem is
getting one copy of windows to boot both on bare metal and under
Bhyve.</p>
<p>So the goal here is that on one piece of hardware _both_
operating systems are running. The advantage to win10 being the
host is mostly gaming (video card passthrough is a poor solution,
trust me). The advantage to FreeBSD being the host ... is better
scheduling and memory management.</p>
<p>Most dual boot systems ... at best give you the mounted drive of
the other (and even that can be buggy). This solution is one that
I've wanted for 20 years. It only recently became practical.</p>
