Booting to different /

[Geffers]

Can I boot to a different / mount point at start up.

I want to test out an older Acer Aspire ONE that has an apparently slow SSD.

It does seem quicker when I run from a USB stick, I'd like to run from an SD card but the BIOS doesn't support booting to the SD card.

It might be easier just to get new USB flash drive?

some said this works for flash drives on old computers. A while back they were updating to use PCMCIA. Not sure how your SD card may be working.

It runs OK booting to a complete system on a USB drive so I know how that performs, I wanted to try it to an SD card as the fit is neater.
