That might be my fault.  I've modified the root mount mechanism to only
wait for the root mount tokens (ie USB) if the root device isn't already
there; basically this makes the kernel not wait for USB if rootfs is
on SATA.

Does the following fix things for you?  (Note there's something
seriously wrong with character echo, but it doesn't seem related.)
