Since UEFI, most USB sticks for installation and/or rescue are configured to boot
in either legacy or EFI mode. When the UEFI BIOS has CSM (legacy) booting enabled,
such USB sticks will show two entries per USB stick, one for each mode, which is
why you see above both 0005 and 0006 entries.
Also with UEFI, it's preferred to have the HDD/SSD's preferred OS as top priority,
and to use the BBS hotkey whenever an alternative boot device is desired instead.
Does that mean you use a F key to boot from a USB stick? My UEFI is
always putting the OS before the USB stick. I have to change it to boot
from a USB stick. How do you use this "BBS Hotkey?
Exactly the same as you use a BIOS setup key (typically DEL or F2) specific to the
various brands and their BIOS:
BBS Boot Keys
[*]ASRock F11
[*]Asus F8
[*]Biostar F9
[*]Dell F12
[*]eCS F12 or F10
[*]eMachines F10
[*]EVGA F7
[*]Gigabyte F12
[*]HP F9 or ESC or ESC,F9
[*]Intel F10
[*]Lenovo F12 or F8 or F10
[*]MSI F11
[*]Toshiba F12
What does BBS mean in BIOS?
Short for BIOS boot specification, BBS is a BIOS (basic input/output system)
feature that creates, maintains, and prioritizes all the IPL (initial program
load) devices. While the computer is booting, each IPL device is checked to see if
it's bootable.

OK I see well mine is HP. The Boot order key is F9 and I guess setup is
F10.
To me BBS brings memories of early internet or pre internet BBS systems,
with Sysops :)
