Apologies, this might be a little bit OT but I was thinking of this and I
thought about the wonderful folks at OpenBSD.

Say you had the guts of an x86_64 desktop running Windows on the bench and
another computer running OpenBSD right next to it, is there some mechanism
available that could allow you to integrity scan the NVMe drive (and also
the firmware but that's probably an easier problem solved with something
like SPI) of the powered-off x86_64 with the OpenBSD box, like a hardware
device that allows both OpenBSD and the laptop physical hardware level
access to the same NVMe, or would you have the NVMe in OpenBSD, scan it and
then somehow "hand over" the NVMe to Windows?

The NVMe drive can't be physically touched, not just swapped from board to
board, I'm thinking of this from a more "embedded" viewpoint.

Or am I thinking about an external CPU validating an OS install in
completely the wrong way?

Thanks
Richard
