So, I took my second Proxmox node out of the cluster by running

pvecm expected 1
pvecm delnode proxmox2

Then, took another look at my Proxmox2 node, reseated everything a third time, and now it recognized the boot drive.

So now, I have a standalone node running just fine and a second node looking for a cluster.

I ran the following commands on proxmox2:

systemctl stop pve-cluster corosync
pmxcfs -l
rm /etc/corosync/*
rm /etc/pve/corosync.conf
killall pmxcfs
systemctl start pve-cluster


I seleted the /etc/corosync directory and /etc/pve/corosync.conf from the first server and was able to make a new cluster. So, now I have my old BBS VM available, but I'm happy with it on Windows 11 for now. 

I'll be playing with Windows 10 IOT LTSC to see if that's a better low-profile OS than Windows 11.

Proxmox wants 3 for a quorum, I'm considering throwing Proxmox on a rPi to give me 3 nodes.
