The usb2/usb3 is mostly irrelevant for this problem. I'm surprised the
disk is working, in my testing it's an all or nothing thing, maybe if
you're booting off it thank changes things.

Was it a beta or pre release install?

We don't generally update the U-Boot firmware automatically, it's a
complicated thing. The whole RPi4 is complicated and had caused
numerous issues, it's the lack of stability of these things and key
things like accelerated graphics not being upstream why it's not
"officially supported"

What sort of docs, it's a bash script, there's not much too it.
