So, I'm running this cMP 2010:
2x hexcore 2.93 Xeons
32GB RAM (4x 8GB)
MSI TwinFrozr GTX680 2GB (flashed with the evga mac bios)
256GB SM951 AHCI (slot 2) [Sierra]
128GB SM951 AHCI (slot 3) [Windows 10 Pro N v1709]

I installed win10 in EFI mode, and it mostly works. I managed to find all the drivers from Boot camp 6 & 4, as well as manufacturer websites. Here's the issue:

If I reset the P-RAM, windows 10 will boot, and it'll be fine through warm and cold reboots. If I use the BootCamp program to "boot into OSX" Sierra boots just fine, but if I select win10 via the boot selector, or "startup disk" I get an error message saying something like boot drive not found. resetting the P-RAM is required to boot into windows10 now, and seems to be the default drive.

Thoughts?
 
Can you boot using ‘Option’ key on boot?
nope, if I've selected OSX via the BC menu, then try to boot to the W10 disk via the boot selector, I get a single cursor in the upper left corner. reset the P-RAM, and it boots automatically into W10.
