Is it theoretically possible to boot #Windows with a #9P root without having to create a disk image, similar to how it works on Linux? The only thing I found is #ninefs, which is very old and unmaintained and it's unclear if that's just an SMB replacement.
Motivation is explained here: https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9p_root_fs

I'm not super familiar with Windows internals, so I'm not sure if this is possible with a driver or if it requires a custom kernel.
