It's pretty simple once you figure it out. I have Windows installed
on the first FDISK partition of the boot disk. illumos is on the
second partition. That is the active partition and boots by default.
All I had to do was to edit /boot/loader.conf to add this line:
chain_disk="disk0s1:"
The trailing colon is required. That file contains environment
variables that are used by the loader. Once I'd added that line, a
new loader menu item appeared that, when selected, allowed me to boot
Windows.
