Like with any hard drive, you can mark partitions as bootable with fdisk or a similar tool. Whether or not a particular machine will actually boot off that depends on the machine's BIOS and settings. New hardware tends to have a quick splash screen immediately after you power on where you can pick your boot device; on older hardware, you might have to go into the BIOS settings to specify which devices to boot from, in which order of preference. Older hardware still simply does not boot off USB devices. (And older still won't even boot off a CD.)

SYSTEMD-EFI-BOOT-GENERATOR(8)				    systemd-efi-boot-generator				     SYSTEMD-EFI-BOOT-GENERATOR(8)

NAME

       systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting
       it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate
       the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount
       point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed.

       systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1].

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), systemd.mount(5), systemd.automount(5), systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8), gummiboot(8), fstab(5)
