how to reduce keystrokes when booting from CDROM USB1.1 mode2

[zapp]

I have a sony VIO that I am using PLOP on CD to boot a USBHDD.

to boot it I must use 11 keystrokes everytime because I can only get it to boot in Force USB 1.1 mode2

is there a way I can automatically boot this mode2?

setup menu does not save changes is why I ask.

also, I am unsure why I cant boot from first menu screen "USB" because this is a USB2.0 machine but when I try it I get hung up with a blinking cursor.

the only way that I have booted this machine successfully is with "Force USB1.1" mode 2

I have had success with all other machines I have tried so thanks again for your great program.

thanks

You can configure plpbt.bin with plpcfgbt:

thanks Icecube! I will try that but I may be back with more questions relating to plpcfgbt.

hi,
i quickly created a simple script that you can easy create a new iso file with the plpbt.bin file that you modified with plpcfgbt.
download plpbt-createiso.zip from http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagerdl.html and extract it
copy plpbt.bin to the plpbt-createiso directory and run create-iso.bat. this creates the file plpbtmycd.iso. you can burn a new cd with this file

@elmar
Does plpbt.bin (launches as linux kernel) support reading the kinux cmdlineprovided by the bootloader? So you can configure plpbt.bin from another bootloader.

syslinux.cfg

Code Select Expand

label plp
linux plpbt.bin
append stm=hidden cnt=on cntval=1 dbt=usb

continued at Linux kernel command line (append) for plpbt.bin
