No Feasible Way to install Windows 11

Description

1. Try to install Windows 11. It will state that no drivers support the hardware. Try to mount the virtio drivers to your VM additionally. There is no way. Try to specify the iso name, it states that boot priority is required for ISO images. There is nowhere to specify boot priority.

2. There should be ways to attach additional ISO images to a VM. In this case, we require both the installation media, and the virtio drivers (assumingly). However, there is no way to get them. Adding files to a zvol is tedius, but could work, except that zvols are read as virtio, and won't show in the installer. Unfortunately, as is, there is currently no way to install Windows 11 or any other OS requiring VirtIO from what I see as a VM.

It's possibly I'm making an assumption on the VirtIO situation, but based on looking at other hypervisor setups, this appears to be a common situation.
