Hello Jason, 

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me what to put into the /boot/uEnv.txt 
file to do this? Do I install debian/OS image to the USB hard drive and 
just link to uEnv.txt to that? I would like to just install another 
image/OS on the USB drive and have the EMMC boot refer to that? Please 
advise on the best may to proceed. 

Thanks

Marc
