Comment:

 In the current firmware, you have to hold down the game key after power up
 to make it boot from USB.  You do not need to type anything, just hold the
 game key, release it when the screen turns on, and let the system auto-
 boot.

 The reason for this is to make the usual case of booting from NAND FLASH
 faster, and to reduce that possibility that the system fails to boot if a
 bad USB device is present.
