I was lacking the magic--magic apparently missing even from the=20=20 Windows=20recovery disk--to make even Windows bootable.

I'll install Windows as a virtualbox guest as soon as I get back on=20=20 site=20and download it from Amazon. (Yes, $119 down the toilet.) By the way, for the folks who've been working so hard on the UEFI=20=20 implementation=20of FreeBSD: It's beautiful.
