booting with more than one usb-stick

I installed Debian Squeeze on an usb-stick (http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/). Everything like openVPN, Apache2, Samba work fine, thank you Jeff for the good work. I do not want to install on NAND because of to less memory.

There is a little problem. If i boot with more than one usb-device (aditional fat32-stick or additional fat32-2.5-inch-USB-HDD) the system is not booting the Debian stick. It boots the internal pogoplug system.

Is there a possiblity to fix it? Or must i use an USB-HDD with the Debian on /dev/sda1 an perhaps the data on /dev/sda2 (fat32 or ext)? If i add the second device after boot time there is no problem.

In this forum i did find an article which describes this problem. Solution was to modify the u-boot. Give a search a try ;)

I tried this also (with no modification of u-boot) - i was able to use 2 usb sticks at one time and debian was bootet.
I checked out that the very first usb port near the lan port is the one which is probed first.

Give this first a try to set your boot usb stick to the very first usb port and the other one at another port.

It works for me :-)

Thank you for the answers.

I installed on August, 27th the first time. I think the script http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh used the new version of http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh that must solve the problem.

Where can i see the right settings for uboot? Shoult i reinstall http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh or another program?
