Boot menu change suggestion
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2022 8:47 pm
My bios changes based on what is plugged in at the time. Unfortunately USB drives change the bios disk ordering, or adding and removing hard drives, or bouncing between new UEFI and old BIOS boot options.
This requires constant boot menu HD disk selection changes.
Here's the suggestion.
Modify the Edit Boot Menu HD selection option to accept a Physical HD order number (todays option) or a NTSIG or GUID Disk ID number. The NTSIG and GUID numbers never change as system bios reorders the hard drives. Or Better Yet: When editing the menu HD number, and ask to use one of the 3 (Physical, NTSIG, or GUID) options for the future, as it is easy for bootit to determine these numbers from the physical HD number at edit time.
Thanks
