My test machine is a 4th gen. i5-4570. From what I can tell it wouldn't
be able to boot to a NVMe on a PCI adapter.
Correct.
I could get a NVMe set up on an adapter like I was originally thinking,
but I do testing on Workstation-Live and I take the defaults for
installation; so is there someplace where I can learn how to split the
installation like you've done it with the /boot and /boot/EFI on the HD
and the System on the NVMe?
You have to setup all the partitioning manually unfortunately.
Then there is the question: Would testing Workstation set up like that
would be of value to the project? I'm thinking there aren't many users
set up like that. Also, it might be a confusion factor for any bugs I find.
Nope, I wouldn't bother testing it that way. I think in the original thread you said you don't have a new enough computer that has M.2/NVMe built-in correct? Kinda hard to test it then :)
If you really want to be able to then you'll need some newer hardware. If $$$ is a problem, maybe an inexpensive micro-ATX and Athlon 200GE chip.
Thanks,
Richard
