[vfio-users] Booting from VirtIO disk

[Karsten Elfenbein]

Hi,

I had the same issue after upgrading to win10.
I kept the boot disk on ATA/IDE and added an other disk with virtio.
Then I installed the windows 10 virtio drivers for the second disk.
(latest virtio-win.iso should have those)
With that in place I could switch back to virtio for my boot disk.
