Agreed -- inserting the USB drive can sometimes cause the controller
targets to shift (for example, the boot device might now be c1d0 instead
of c0d0) -- that will cause problems...

I've seen this before with MS-Windows - I left my iPod
connected and on reboot the system insisted on fscking
the thing. Disconnecting it made the problem disappear,
and subsequent bios investigations revealed that the
iPod was showing up as a bootable device.


You might want to look at what your bios has got setup.
