How can I set up multi-booting with GRUB on a USB with a different OS? I want to choose the different OS when I plug in the USB.

  • This is handled by your bios, set your bios boot order to boot the USB > hard drive. – Panther Dec 24 '14 at 02:52

    If you have grub.cfg on your flash drive you can add as many boot stanza. If from a full install you add entries to 40_custom. If just a grub only boot flash drive you do directly edit grub.cfg (exception to rule that we do not directly edit grub.cfg) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaintenanceFreeCustomGrub2Screen And. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/CustomMenus You can also chain load to MBR on internal drive if desired. – oldfred Dec 24 '14 at 04:41
  • Thank you. oldfred. One more question => When I change my bios boot order and plug in the USB, I need to change the grub.cfg and /etc/fstab each time because the origin /dev/sda changed into /dev/sdb. How to deal with it? – Frank Li Jan 23 '15 at 01:46
