    Esata BIOS Boot Priority Question

    I'm tinkering with dual booting through the esata port. I wanted to change the boot priority to raise the Esata port above the internal drive of my Pangolin, but I don't see anywhere in the Pangolin's BIOS that would let me determine when the esata drive boots. I know it is functional because I see whatever drives I plug to my esata dock in nautilus. Is the esata drive defined as an external USB drive in the bios?

    I'm not aware of a way to do that.

    I've brought this up before-http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ighlight=esata

    Bottom line is that there is hope. In the form of chain-booting grub or flashing the bios (the latter being a little too risky imho). I was planing to look into chain-booting more but my own boot priorities have to be tended to first.*pun* The time to figure it out will show up sooner or later.
