I had already understood that.
My main questions, probably obscured bc of lack of detail on my part,
1)whether my usb disk could be mbr-installed
to boot when connected to another system that had a bios that can boot usb,
i.e., after being mbr-installed while still connected to my present system
using say an f10 install cd/dvd,
despite my present system bios not seeing the usb?
2) and if so, would that mbr prep on usb
somehow interfere or not with my present scsi sda1 mbr?

Yes, I already understood that,
and in fact have been doing so for last few months
not with f10 but fc5 and older kubuntu.
Some detail on that I had mentioned to Mikkel in the old thread
