Instead of a fix for that, maybe it would be simpler if we could add
some kind of specific boot error message in this case? Is it possible
to catch this problem in the USB code and just panic with a specific
message? Most computers still have a few USB2-ports in addition to
USB3. If a non-haiku-savvy users sees "cannot find boot volume", they
will have no idea what's wrong. If the message in this case was "USB3
unsupported, please try booting with USB2 port" it would be clearer and
many could help themselves.
