add boot from media in menu

[robertkwild]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add to the menu

Boot from media device ie USB cd dvd etc

I see boot from hard drive/deploy image/quick reg etc

Thanks,
Rob

@robertkwild I don’t think there is an easy and general way of telling the BIOS/UEFI firmware to boot from CD, DVD, USB key or other alternative boot options. Chainloading to the local disk seems to be a special thing that can be made to work. Though we also see that it does not work in all cases.

@sebastian-roth when you say chainloading to the local disk, you mean the menu option where it says boot to hard drive

Yes.
