6843	Boot from USB device	Laurence Perkins		"Since it is possible to attach USB devices to the guest in ""pass through"" mode, it would be quite useful (to me at least) to be able to boot the guest from such a device.  It would allow for easy creation/testing of bootable USB devices for a variety of purposes.  Currently, in order to do this kind of thing, I have to use the raw disk option, which doesn't always seem compatible with reformatting the disk, and makes it so that the guest OS doesn't realise that it's on a thumb drive, so any optimisations it may have for such circumstances are lost."	enhancement	closed	USB	VirtualBox 3.2.0	duplicate	BIOS		other	other
