Hi guys, sorry if this is an old topic, or a crazy question. Googling for it
brought almost nothing interesting.

Just want to know if its possible to let grub check for available bootable
partitions when it starts up, and adjust the menu to include the ones that
are even not configured in grub's config file.

Why? mainly to allow booting from USB devices with potentially different OSs
or partitions.  I will love to be able to connect an USB storage device,
turn on the PC and have grub showing bootable partitions on that device.

Probably its simpler for Windows where there is no kernel or initrd to
specify, but even for Linux having grub searching kernels/initrds in usual
 places of the detected partitions and provide a list of them sounds like
something i will love to have.

In short, i'm looking for a PlugAndBoot feature :)

Thanks for your comments !

Tashi.
