I was planning to send a diff - I dualboot OpenBSD and Windows 8.1, and all the steps to set it up are the same. The only thing to keep in mind about Windows 8+ is that it initializes graphics if Windows is chosed as default OS, which takes quite a lot of time. I didn't try GPT setup, though I believe it could be done easily regardless lack of GPT support in OpenBSD. If there is enough interest, I could make a go for GPT Windows and OpenBSD dualboot and send a diff for FAQ if my idea works out. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
