Does Linux bypass PC BIOS settings ?
by joboy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FHFJ)
I am installing Mint Debian on a Thinkpad USB drive, where there are multiple internal drives on the notebook with other Linux distro, to prevent overwriting the bootloader to the wrong drive I removed all internal drives on the notebook, I only boot the installer via USB and install to another USB drive, that worked before. This time I simply disable the internal drive via BIOS, but the installer still see all my drives why is that ?
