This is not an USB issue, but rather BIOS / boot-code related. Please
change responsible.

You have a very limited view point of what is USB problem. I don't see
it as a bios problem. For sure the problem is in the boot0cfg code and
for sure IT IS A USB PROBLEM. Now if you want to change this to am
different group then you are welcome to do so. But as the original
reporter of the PR I don't have the authority to make that change.
Dear "Fbsd1" (Joe Barbish?),
Hans meant that this is not an issue with USB kernel driver and he is totally
correct. usb@ assignment is for bugs with kernel USB driver only.
BTW, bootloader doesn't have any explicit knowledge of USB either, it uses BIOS
interface and depends on BIOS USB emulation.
I think that Hans can't change the PR assignment.
So this message is mostly for Mark :-)
Thank you Andriy Gapon for the courteous and informative post. May I
suggest that the submit-pr web page be changed by replacing the USB
assignment with Kernel-usb assignment. That is more in line with the USB
charter and would reduce the number of PR's wrongly being posted to the
USB assignment. So help us help you.
