Simon, Luka, Prafulla, etal,

I've tested this out on the Seagate GoFlex Net (Kirkwood) device,
which also has dual SATA ports, and it resolved the long-standing (and
irritating) bug/unwanted-feature that required us to boot from _only_
the right side port.

I would guess that other Kirkwood dual-SATA-port boxes would be
happier because of this, as well.

Nice catch, Simon.

regards,

Dave
