My PC does not have the BIOS option to boot from USB.

I use an USB cabled external hard drive for taking backups. It has FreeBSD installed on it which I want to boot from so the motherboard cabled hard drive file systems are un-mounted during the dump. This USB drive will only be attached to do backups.

I also have a USB stick containing a Freebsd install used to clone itself to the motherboard cabled hard drive.

Since the BIOS will only boot from the motherboard cabled hard drive can I install a boot loader to gain boot access to my seldom connected USB devices?

I reviewed the grub port but with no joy.

What do you recommend?
