I don't know where to put this exactly, but it only seem to be an issue with this core as far as I can tell so far... so here goes.


I just have 1 external storage device attached to my MiSTer formatted as EXFAT and on normal startup, it mounts to usb0. However, when I do a cold reboot, most of the time it re-mounts into usb1. Meaning the location of the VHD has changed, resulting in a "FATAL: No bootable device" error on launch.

I've edited the fstab to mount it at usb0 every time, but it doesn't seem to help. I think this is a bug for sure so I'll tag @sorgelig here.

Maybe there is something I'm missing or doing incorrectly.

It's not an issue with other cores I have tested as it will look in usb0, usb1, usb2. . . etc. for roms, but AO486 is different and it has a hardlink for its VHD location, which results in the fatal error.
