During conversion we copy the necessary drivers to the directory "%systemroot%\Drivers\Virtio", adding it to the DevicePath registry value. As documented in [1], this should be enough for Windows to find device drivers and successfully install them. However, it doesn't always happen. Commit 73e009c04 ("v2v: windows: Document use of pnputil to install drivers.") describes such issues with Win2k12R2. I'm seeing the same problem with Win2k16 and netkvm.sys driver not being installed. That same commit 73e009c04 suggests adding a firstboot script invoking pnputil at an early stage to install all the drivers we put into the drivers store. So let's add such a script to make sure all the necessary drivers are installed. [1] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/how-wi...
