Here's how to do the chain loading of windows from OI. First, in the
loader, issue an lsdev command to get the names of the disk devices.
Then, append a line to the file /boot/loader.conf . In my case, I
added these two lines:
# Chainload Windows
chain_disk="disk0s1:"
The colon was part of the disk name that lsdev displayed. On the next
boot of OI, you will see a new line in the loader menu that invokes
chain loading of the Windows disk. Beware that Windows updates will
fail with a mysterious error code when it's started this way. That's
because Windows expects the Windows boot disk to be the active
partition. You will need to make it active for Windows updates to
succeed.
