I only want to be able to boot from a USB drive, just as I do with Ubuntu, a 1TB plugged into a USB 3.0 hub.
I burned a 128GB USB stick -- plugged into the Pi4B, at the graphical boot screen all is OK, I hit enter but it never gets further than the "-" cursor in the top left of the LCD even after many hours.
The reason for trying to boot with both was just something I thought worth a try just to see.
No problems when booting from a microSD card. Regards Sid.

I booted and setup from microSD and followed https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi4.
Next I also installed openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-KDE-raspberrypi.aarch64-2021.08.06-Snapshot20210818.raw.xz to a USB HD.
I'm not quite sure why you are doing this. Do you want to boot from USB or from the uSD card? Why do you plug-in both?
I read the Wiki and ran "rpi-eeprom-update -a -d"
When I reboot it stops at the grub prompt when booted with the microSD in.
grub> ls
(proc) (hd0) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1,msdos3) (hd1,msdos2) (hd1,msdos1)
Booting with onlu the USB HD, in a loop looking for the hard drive.
Can you stop U-Boot before booting and type then:
setenv xtrace 1 boot
And provide the information.

No problem when booting with just a Ubuntu USB hard drive with no microSD card in. Ubuntu setup is quite straightforward.
Anyone succeeded with Tumbleweed?
