openvmm - disk is not exposed into VM in direct kernel mode (windows aarch64)

I am not sure if this is a by design or a defect or a not yet implement, but when I use openvmm with kernel and initrd params, no matter what type of disk I try (-ide, -disk, -nvme) it does not show up in the list of devices.

I use --hv flag and hyperv enabled kernel so vmbus support and other hv_ modules are builtin. Using QEMU I can do exactly that, provide custom kernel with initrd and attach a disk to switch the root to it.

If I use uefi it would look for bootloader from the disk. I thought maybe openvmm needs uefi to provide access to the devices.

Versions - I downloaded the openvmm a few days ago from CI, tried a few different builds. I am on windows on aarch64. I tried kernel from opevmm-deps, tried ubuntu, fedora, etc... Tried compiled version of a kernel (wsl kernel) that works in hyperv.

There are no errors or warnings in dmesg related to disks, would be IDE or scsi or nvme. Tried with --no-enlightenments, no difference. The command line is pretty simple:

openvmm.exe --kernel Image --initrd initrd --no-enlightenments --nic --hv --ide .\arch_openvmm.vhdx

Sorry for bothering with this topic, just experimenting and playing with openvmm.
