Boot USB:SATA:Partition4 from USBstik?
I want to be able to make a USBbootStik for my laptop, as I repeatedly
did for the now stolen PC.
I've got a copy of the required 2009, Slackware13 partition, saved to a
USBdisk. And I've located the 175-line: <make bootStik script> .
Of course just "chroot"ing Slak13, won't allow <make bootStik>.
But...

New UEFI restrictions?
...USBstik with partition1 having:
/boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin , isolinux.cfg , menu.c32...etc.
to boot 64bit TinyCore.
Now this newer laptop has: "Aptio Setup Utility...2018"
which is completely different from the 2015 version.
I fail to boot linux from any of my various syslinux/grub bootStiks.
Has M$pook finally locked linux out of <WinTel> laptops?
Or have readers here got a solution?
=TIA crg.

Can USB:syslinux install another USBstik?
...ght a <WinTel> laptop and USBextender to access my
old IDE & SATA disks.
With WinTel's new arrangement of not allowing the tail of the sda
to be free for linux installation: I've only installed linux to
some USBstiks.
The attempted reconstruction of the stolen original Slackware BootStik
seems valid, but it has no SATA of IDE to be tested with.
Apparent correctly specified sdXY give "block (0,0)" errors
and invalidly tried sdXY give "block (N,M)" errors - as expected ?
Can the syslinux [or a newer version] mount a USB root-partition?
== TIA.
