*** Warning - complete KVM newbie ***
Fresh trusty install and I have then installed Qemu and KVM. I have a Windows 8.1 Windows To Go USB stick (Windows 8.1 Enterprise) and would like to run this as a visualized instance. I have done the following so far:
1. tried to pass through the physical drive to the VM instance
2. install OVMF to allow UEFI based booting
I achieved the pass through of the physical device by adding the following to my config file:
And I also installed OVMF and then added the following:
Am I on the right track here ? Has anyone passed a WTG stick through before ? I gues it would be like passsing any physical disk directly through.
Thanks !

The USB WTG stick is confirmed as:
# lsscsi -v | grep King
[8:0:0:0] disk Kingston DT Workspace KS13 /dev/sdi
The domain starts up, gets to bitlocker, passes bitlocker and then the Windows 8 logo appears for 6/7 seconds and then i resets and goes straight back to the EFI shell.
