nixos/systemd-boot: add windows option for easy dual-booting
When installing NixOS on a machine with Windows, the "easiest" solution to dual-boot is re-using the existing EFI System Partition (ESP), which allows systemd-boot to detect Windows automatically. However, if there are multiple ESPs, maybe even on multiple disks, systemd-boot is unable to detect the other OSes, and you either have to use Grub and os-prober, or do a tedious manual configuration as described in the wiki: https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Dual_Booting_NixOS_and_Windows&redirect=no#EFI_with_multiple_disks This commit automates and documents this properly so only a single line like boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows."10".efiDeviceHandle = "HD0c2"; is required. In the future, we might want to try automatically detecting this during installation, but finding the correct device handle while the kernel is running is tricky.

Make Windows bootable from systemd-boot. This option is not necessary when Windows and

NixOS use the same EFI System Partition (ESP). In that case, Windows will automatically be

detected by systemd-boot.

The device handle of the EFI System Partition (ESP) where the Windows bootloader is

located. This is the device handle that the EDK2 UEFI Shell uses to load the

bootloader.
|
||||
|
||||
To find this handle, follow these steps:
|
||||
1. Set {option}`boot.loader.systemd-boot.edk2-uefi-shell.enable` to `true`
|
||||
2. Run `nixos-rebuild boot`
|
||||
3. Reboot and select "EDK2 UEFI Shell" from the systemd-boot menu
|
||||
4. Run `map -c` to list all consistent device handles
|
||||
5. For each device handle (for example, `HD0c1`), run `ls HD0c1:\EFI`
|
||||
6. If the output contains the directory `Microsoft`, you might have found the correct device handle
|
||||
7. Run `HD0c1:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\Bootmgfw.efi` to check if Windows boots correctly
|
||||
8. If it does, this device handle is the one you need (in this example, `HD0c1`)
