[ltp] Can't change boot order on an X31 to boot from USB

[Jason Brooks]

There is also a key you can press to get a boot drive selection while
POST is active .selection.   It should be the blue access button.
Press it during POST. You may also be having issues because of a power
requirement if this is a mechanical drive. Try powering the drive off
of a power supply or powered usb hub.
