Is there a differences between a usb external hard drive
and a usb flash drive boot loader pgm?
When i plug a usb flash drive in FreeBSD handles it
just like a internal IDE hard drive.
To make a hard drive bootable you have to write the boot loader pgm to
the disk. Does the ide hard drive boot loader pgm work on usb external
hard drives and a usb flash drive?
My pc has bios option to boot from usb disk but will not boot when i
plug in a bootable flash drive.
What am i missing here?
