Re: Booting from USB stik via CLI, possible?

Hello,

You can use efibootmgr to make your USB be the next boot entry the next time you reboot, only takes effect once so when you reboot again it'll go back to the defaults. You use efibootmgr -n number. If your USB was at index 0003, you'd type sudo efibootmgr -n 0003 and reboot, and it would boot you straight into the ventoy stick.

So this is something I'm wondering. Is it possible to have a USB stick be booted from via the terminal? I checked efibootmgr and it has two entries so logially that'd mean I just go down three or four times in the boot menu and then go from there.

Or can I somehow tell the system to go and reboot and load the stick? if it helps it is a Ventoy stick which I'm trying to do this with though so I'm not sure how that affects things
