I Can't get a 7200rpm HDD to boot either... I CAN boot a 256GB SSD using the same 12v powered USB HD bay - so I finally know the bay I use can boot as ux0.
My drive formatting and mounting results
I'm still going to try to change the timeout to 50 tries in the storagemgr source code to see if I can get either HDD to boot pre-mounted.
My drive formatting and mounting results
Must write zzBlank.img to the drive to remove any hidden partitions. I used Win32DiskImager.
All drives were formatted (per standard)
exFat
64kb cluster size
partition table: MBR (Msdos)
I was able to boot with these drives automounted to ux0:
USB Thumb 128GB
USB Micro-SD 64GB
USB 12v Powered Hard Drive Bay w/ 256GB SSD
I wasn't able to boot with these mounted mounted automatically:
USB 12v Hard Drive Bay w/ 1TB HDD @5400rpm
USB 12v Hard Drive Bay w/ 256GB HDD @7200rpm
USB 12v Hard Drive Bay w/ 2TB HDD @7200rpm
