I can't find this on chrx.org or MrChromeBox's site, it would be really helpful if you could provide a command for changing the boot order of Legacy OS to be able to chose between USB first or HDD first.

Thanks very much

You can run sudo crossystem to see all the available options.

The flag you are looking for is dev_default_boot and you would set it with sudo crossystem dev_default_boot=disk (or legacy or usb).

You can confirm the setting took by running sudo crossystem again or to examine the value of a single flag you can use sudo crossystem dev_default_boot without a value, but the output doesn't include a trailing newline so sudo crossystem | grep dev_default_boot will probably be easier to read.
