Implement the ability to co-exist with other OSes in the same Disk to allow for dual boot in the Ally #657

Right now it's impossible to boot from an SD card plugged directly in the Rog Ally card reader, this means the only way to dual boot Windows and Chimera in it right now is to have one of them being boot'ed from an external USB device which is a hassle.

If chimera could be installed to a partition rather than a complete disk, we would be able to manually partition the internal nvme drive, make it coexist with windows and dual boot without the necessity to keep a USB device attached to it.

Do you have plans to implement such feature? If not, any ideas on how we could achieve dual boot without needing an external device?
