The problem being reported on the 30th Sept is a panic on booting zroot
because the disk couldn't be found by the loader, presumably because 
usb3 needed time to settle, because making it wait a while resulted in
a bootable system. But all the waiting does is workaround. I don't
know how to fix it permanently. The problem gets to (i guess it's called stage1
boot) where i can select what kernel to boot. At that point, i thought u-boot
had completed.

The reason I'm mentioning this in this thread is because the OP is reporting
an issue looking on the face of it very similar to the one I saw, and i thought
mentioning this here might be helpful.
