Prefer booting of Brix from removable media
« on: August 25, 2014, 02:12:43 pm »
Hi there, I'm quite desperately looking for settings which would allow me to boot internal drive UNLESS USB is plugged in, in which case USB would have priority. You know, that behaviour which always had been here and made us angry so often when we left removable media in. Currently, if USB drive is removed, UEFI forgots it completely and upon new insertion put it at the end of the boot list.

Motivation: I run Brix (GB-BXCEH-2955) headless as core linux router in SOHO. In case I need to reinstall or debug it, I can't just plug USB and reboot to get into recovery/install mode because 1st boot priority is always internal and that means unplug Brix and take it to a screen and a keyboard. I'd prefer it being possible in legacy mode. Is that even possible?
