A switch would have an issue booting with an SD card that isn't supported. I the event that it does boot up, the system won't recognize it.

ok well, I would backup all my game save data via checkpoint then wipe and rebuild emuNAND.

That shouldn't be a problem. Because you can update fw without burning fuses and still use your updated swtich with no problems.

Had the same problem as not being able to boot emunand (black screen). This is what I did to fix the issue:
*In SX OS boot menu, go to the nand back up option and select dump nand.
*On the next menu, press advanced options and enable only "boot0" and "boot1"(other options should be disabled).
*Do a nand backup of the selected files. Should only take a few seconds.
*Turn off your switch and place your SD card on your PC
*Browse to "sxos/backup/" folder.
*Copy "boot0" and "boot1", then browse to "sxos/emunand/" folder.
*Paste and replace your copied files.
*Now try to boot emunand normally as you would before.

That fixed my black screen issue. Hope that others can fix their emunand as well.
