It's hardly necessary, since you can look at the card to see the
supported media. The volume of printfs does hurt so much precisely
*because* you see it only at boot time; the more you print, the
greater the chance that something critical will scroll off the
screen (and the faster it will scroll off) when you are having
problems.
