All looked quite normal. I don't fully understand what foxpup was saying,
However, with recent iterations of the 4.19.X kernel, when foxpup boots his SSD drive (SAMSUNG MZYTY256) with EFI/grub2 and multiple pupsaves, the usual list of selectable pupsaves does not appear on screen, so no way to choose the desired pupsave file. He has no problem when booting with EFI/grub2 and one pupsave.
Interestingly, on his EFI/grub2 installation of BusterPup with multiple pupsaves, the list of selectable pupsaves appears as expected when he boots with the Dpup Stretch 4.9.X kernel (such as 4.9.149) or with older iterations of the 4.19.X kernel (such as 4.19.26).
My current setup is a Kingston USB Flash drive with Grub Legacy, with the Buster 8.0 installation on the internal SSD. I also have a Sandisk USB Flash drive with EFI/Grub2, I added a boot stanza to the Sandisk grub.cfg and can confirm Foxpup's issues when using 4.19.X kernel. With 1 save folder there is a noticeable pause on boot with a black screen then boot was successful. I created a second save folder( duplicated / renamed existing). When i booted there was an extended pause, then i saw the select pupsave dialog, but it was bypassed and a first boot occurred with first run dialog. I retested boot to check.
I manually changed kernel to peebee's lxpup64-5.1.15 kernel. Boot was normal boot, being able to successfully select either save folder on boot without pause.
