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

continued at Linux kernel command line (append) for plpbt.bin (http://forum.plop.at/index.php/topic,233.0.html)
