 G1G1; Q2D16.  Tried to access several different USB storage devices
 (plugged one at a time directly into an USB socket at the XO) from the OFW
 'ok' prompt.  What I got for all of them was "Can't open disk label
 package" (and "Can't open directory" to a 'dir u:\' command).  These same
 USB storage devices (when plugged directly into the XO) had been handled
 correctly by Linux commands issued from a Terminal.activity screen.

 Tried several kinds of USB configurations.  With my self-powered USB hub
 (STARTECH ST4205READ) unplugged (it was using another USB socket on the
 XO), access to those USB storage devices (which earlier gave me problems)
 now worked correctly from the OFW 'ok' prompt..

 [Usually, I run with a keyboard, a mouse, a card reader, and an ethernet
 adapter plugged into the USB hub.  I also have an USB hard drive plugged
 into the XO directly.  All of these devices work well for me, with both
 Joyride builds and Update.1 builds.  Had not tried anything at the 'ok'
 prompt for ages and ages.]
