I remember on previous openSUSE installs (e.g., 10.0), one could select the disk boot order in the BIOS. I do not mean if it is in a partition or the MBR. I mean which disk. All disks are present in the install so all info is there to do this, as it did in 10.0. For the life of me, I do not see this in 10.3. I am guessing it is moved or traveling incognito. Anyone know where this is now located?
AFAIK “the disk boot order in the BIOS” is selected in the BIOS, obviously.
Or are you asking about something different? :-?
Yes. The BIOS is involved, up to a point. But if there are two disks in the system during install, and one later gets removed, something important may may go missing. In 10.0, you could select which disk was going to be the boot disk, and then the install made sure all things boot related were set up for this. In my case, there is a removable disk that shows up as /dev/sda during install (no matter where it is in the BIOS boot order), and the disk I want to install on is /dev/sdb. In 10.0 I could, in a menu available during install, tell the install that /dev/sdb is the boot disk. Removing /dev/sda has no effect. The boot always works. I am looking for this functionality in 10.3 that worked great for me in 10.0. As I wrote, perhaps it is now done via different information. I am trying to find out what that is. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
