11.2.0 XO-1 boot from USB or SD doesn't work for me

Luke: Step back from the keyboard just a bit. :) It's true that the glass isn't completely full--- but it's pretty darned full! And we wouldn't be discussing the various GPL and other violations that you cite were it not for the overwhelming successes of Free Software, ARM, Linux, and Android.
