<p>I figured it out. I used a utility that comes with Plop that
allows you to customize plop so you don't have to go through menus
each time you want to use it. I used that to chose the options I
want and replace the copy of plpbt.bin that's in /boot.<br>

<div>there may be a way I can check tonight normally I burn Plop
to a cd boot the cd and the plop menu will offer up usb
options to install</div>
<div>I also suspect your bios can boot to usb directly but usb
options will only be shown if the usb is plugged in and and
sometimes shows up as a harddrive not a usb</div>
<div>also check as usb devices are often disabled by bios as a
boot option by default sometimes are well hidden in menus and
hard to find<br>

system normally boots from /dev/sdd1. I've installed Plop to
<br>
/dev/sda1. If I switch on the machine and press F12 to select
a boot <br>
device, then pick /dev/sda1, Plop loads. When I installed
Plop, I <br>
chose the MBR of /dev/sda1.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there a way to put a menu entry in Grub2 that would tell
the system <br>
to boot from /dev/sda1?<br>
<br>
<br>
I did manage to create a menu entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
that lets <br>
me load plop, but when I do, it gives me a warning that I
can't save <br>
changes. Is there a way to fix it so I can save changes?
Here is my <br>
40_custom file.<br>
<br>
<br>
#!/bin/sh<br>
exec tail -n +3 $0<br>
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
Simply type the<br>
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful
not to change<br>
# the 'exec tail' line above.<br>
