I have several USB flash drives formatted with SFS2. I just discovered that OS4 attempts to boot from SFS fomatted USB flash drives if such drives are present during a reboot. The boot fails and I end up with a shell window. When I hold the mouse buttons down to go to the preboot screen, I see that the USB flash drive is given a priority of 8 which is higher than my normal boot partition. I don't think I had this problem with my SAM 440 so this might just be an X1000 problem. Is there a way to make an SFS formatted USB flash drive non-bootable??

I tried using MTB to install an RDB on a USB flash drive and NOT checking autoboot but that didn't fix the problem. I tried setting the boot priority to -2 (lower than my normal system partition) but that didn't work either. No matter what I do, OS4 boots with an SFS formatted flash drive if one is connected during a reboot. Is there any way to fix this problem??

I don't think this is restricted to just usb sticks or the SFS file system I noticed myself if I left (for example) my 1TB NTFS formatted usb harddrive attached that a grey screen comes up and I just remembered I needed to remove it before reset or power up

I'm pretty sure this has been addressed, I've just tested it on the latest beta on the X1000 and the icon appears onscreen as expected, in the meantime continue to remove your removable media once used for any given session until Amiupdate comes to the rescue
