GRRR. I have been booting from the sd cards for months, and didn't have to hold down the boot button. I just tested this and my older sd images on either BBB boot from the SD card without holding the boot button down. Indded with the SD card out they boot to debian.
So what magick makes the BBB automatically boot from the SDcard first if present without holding the boot botton?
