Having USB pendrive attached stops booting AROS from disk or CDROM

[deadwood2]

"On WMware if you mount the Pendrive on AROS and" leave it mounted", if you reboot "cold", AROS will crash before loading Wanderer

If instead you unmount the pendrive before rebooting, on reboot everything will work"

"Yes I have tried several different brand pendrives, even external USB HDs are not seen by AROS ABIv11 if the automount of "WMware and active

With ABIv0 this never happened, and it works regularly even now."

"I get a similar problem with USB drives if they are attached to VMware at boot. With one SFS stick (an Icaros installation which I presume 64-bit AROS doesn't try to boot from), Wanderer starts but hangs immediately after showing the desktop. With a FAT stick, Wanderer only hangs after I double-click its icon.

I also find that USB volumes inserted after boot stay on the desktop after being removed from the VM."

"I did some tests with other builds regarding the USB-attached-at-boot bug:

"alpha-1": bad
"alpha-3": bad
2023-03-19 (32-bit ABIv1): good
2023-04-08 (64-bit ABIv1): bad
2023-04-08 (32-bit ABIv1): broken (doesn't boot, even without USB drives)"
