[ydl-gen] USB Drive

[Derick Centeno]

Hi rev:
Unfortunately moving up to YDL 4 will not be so simple with the  
hardware you have.  You will have to change your BootX settings  
specifically for YDL 4; it may be best to follow the instructions  
discussed here:

You can also go to to this link on Google for other topics related to  
this problem:

Best wishes....
