[ltp] Booting T40p from USB HD or USB CD/DVD

[Joel Ebel]

Yes.  I do it on a regular basis.  I develop my USB based distribution 
on my T40.  USB floppies and cd-roms will show up differently in the 
BIOS.  A USB hard drive or pen drive will show up under hard drives in 
the bios and you do have to go in the BIOS and change the boot order 
each time you want to do it, unless you get a boot loader set up 
properly on the primary hard drive.  If you do that, the BIOS won't matter.
