How to force Pupmode=13 when installing puppy in Hard Drive (ie. Pupmode=12)? [SOLVED]

I did a fresh frugal install of puppy on my laptop hard drive, replacing the old 32 bit puppy.
However, the default Pupmode is 12, which will save my session automatically whenever i shutdown my laptop.
With our good old murga-linux forum down, I lost all my resources to the knowledge of puppy linux. I also forgot how i forced my old puppy to boot into pupmode=13 during my previous installation years ago. I want my puppy to ask for save only when i shutdown my session.
The forum thread in wayback machine is so many years back, i am not very confidence whether the steps are still valid.
Can someone kind enough to show me (or other puppy users who found this thread in the future) the way to force pupmode 13 again?

Not knowing what exact boot loader you are using.
In general look for the config file that is providing the boot menu entries.
menu.lst
Syslinux.cfg
grub.cfg
Open the file in a text editor.
Find the entry you use to boot with.
Look for pmedia=atahd or anything pmedia=
Change this to pmedia=usbflash
Save and reboot using this menu entry to boot.
That should make Puppy run in pupmode 13
Should now have save icon on desktop.
Save session options select-able in Puppy Event Manager->Save Session

Thanks for your suggestions, but the info is from many years back. And the files they edit are not the same (or familiar?) as i can recall last time.

Thanks Bigpup!!!
You saved my day!!!
For my case, I edit menu.lst (change pmedia=atahd to pmedia=usbflash) then save and reboot.
Thank you very much =D
