Sorry, but this post is complete nonsense. The fstab entry has nothing to do with the BIOS setting or capability at all (apart from anything else, if you'll reread my post you'll see that it even specifies "noauto", which means that the mount won't happen automatically, much less anywhere near boot time). Booting from an external disk is a completely unrelated issue. Please don't confuse people by making nonsensical statements when you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Sorry to be so harsh, but this is one of the most clue-devoid posts I've ever come across on perlmonks.
