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?
