I don't track.  We have embraced USB as our working solution.  You
reformat a filesystem and all's well?  Okay good, what's the problem?

PC rescue has a small number of worry-cases and I covered them.  They
relate to a handful of desktop PC BIOS vendors and the BIOS vintage. 
Does your SoC embedded device uses Award BIOS or another big-boy?  If
not then what's the relevance?

For non-embedded-engineers:  Ostensson describes a custom embedded
project which proves my point.  Generalizing from quirky embedded
designs to PC rescue is ridiculous.  

An embedded project needing USB boot should source parts and vendors who
support it properly.  But if all you need is a filesystem change, then
bully for you.  Either way there's no topical relevance I can discern.

That you managed to shoe-horn USB into your unique custom project shows
its nice versatility.  But it's all very off-topic.

(Please do not cc us any more.  Thanks.)
