I have allready installed debian 11 on internal ssd with encrypted boot and FDE
i have installed second debian on external usb hdd through live installer
with usb hdd pluged in when i reboot pc it boots only to internal hdd shown as (hd1) uid xxxxx
when unpluged usb then it shown as (hd0) uid xxxxx instead
after i have entered shimx from usb in uefi frirmware setting and sett it to first boot order then i was able to boot into external ssd (with secure boot disabled and enabled )
is it possible to install debian on external hdd so that it can boot directly when plugged in without any setting in bios uefi
and in other machines
in my case with multiple debian distros whats best for grub to handle it .
how to make external distro entry in grub menu of internal hdd

Re: Full install on external ssd multiple debian
Run
Code: Select all
dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64
- install in the removable media path : yes
- update the NVRAM : no
If os-prober is enabled, run update-grub from the internal OS while the external drive is plugged and encrypted volumes are opened.
Otherwise, you will have to manually add a menu entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom which chainloads the external boot loader.
