Ah, no NVRAM on the Pi, then. That OTP option is like marriage in the days before divorce. Maybe copy the u-sd boot sector to a backup file, then overwrite with a copy of the new HD's boot sector, once formatted bootable, so that it goes there instead? That is quickly reversible, I figure. (If there are issues, then it's good to have a second bootable u-sd card on hand.) The HD boot may well be two-stage, but the HD primary boot will know about the secondary boot, so it should all just fly.
