I believe he was referring to the bootdev parameter working. I require the=
=20
bootdev parameter to avoid the detection/use of the occasional USB drive=20
being left inserted prior to boot.

There is definitely a preferred order (or lack of preference) and the bootd=
ev=20
parameter prevents this being an issue.
