   I have a pi 3B+ with an attached hard drive in a x830 case etc. The system was    
   migrated over using   
   the standard tool for installing on a SD card, then the SD was removed and the    
   system boot to the   
   drive. A lot faster.   
      
   O/S is Rasbian current version as far as I know and I run mbse as a back up /    
   parallel system.   
      
   I see no reason why bbbs should not work PROVIDING you can get a version for    
   ARM processors and even   
   better for the Pi.   
      
   You cannot use one for X64 Intel/AMD based CPU's.   
      
   If all that is good then just follow the instruction manual etc and look at    
   what extra libraries are   
   needed.
