I have a 128MB stick. the bios treats it as a hard drive. When i go to
select a boot device, the usb stick shows up under hard drives as a usb
drive. I tried installing plop but it didn't boot from it. The next
smallest usb stick I have is 16GB, then 32 and 64. The bios doesn't see
those at all. I have a cd to boot plop from if I can't make it boot via
grub.
thanks

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
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
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

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

to change

menuentry "Plop bootloader" {
insmod ext2
set root='hd3,msdos1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
