#5077: Consider not boot from USB by default

I only have a USB key, and so I use it to copy files, and install new
images on the XO.
More than one time, I've left the usb plugged in while restarting, and had
it overwrite the OS on the XO. While no harm comes of this (by default, it
backs up the files, and won't replace the one on the XO with a lower-
numbered build), it still can replace a user-customized system.
