In addition to changing my partition, I ran into an issue when having a USB drive installed, my router wouldn’t boot into dd-wrt (At least I don’t think so, it didn’t respond to ping or anything)

I have a ProtectLi router using coreboot. They have some documentation on their site on how to change the boot order for various OSes, but I couldn’t deduce something from that.

So I can see from the link very clearly how to change the boot order in the BIOS.

Really do not understand what is the question here.

I have had a similar thing happen... Unfortunately I usually have to unplug all usb devices during boot on those systems when doing headless... if you have a monitor connected it is usually trying to boot to the usb device first

This is if I connect a VGA cable. Is there a way to do this via ssh?

No this is via USB/Serial cable

Depends on your hardware which you have not mentioned here.
Some ProtectCLI have a USB port labeled Console - this is a serial port (there is a USB/Serial converter behind it).

This is also possible with a notebook and a USB cable if you don't want to connect a monitor.

I have the necessary cable to go into the console. Oh boy this is going to be fun.
