??? Did you just respond to your own question

ading2210 commented 1 month ago

You need the USB to boot Shimboot no matter what. This is a limitation of the RMA shims.

However, it is possible to copy the rootfs onto your internal storage, and with that you are able to remove the USB after everything is booted.

There's a section in the README on how to do it: https://github.com/ading2210/shimboot?tab=readme-ov-file#can-i-unplug-the-usb-drive-while-using-debian
