That an upgrade can fail is not so astonishing 8-0

However, I expected the root device to be microSD,
consistent with rpi2,-3 and -4. The desktop shown
was on the microSD, but root was mounted from USB.

Having the entire problem go away after a single reboot
with a month-older image was also rather confusing.

The Pi5 is still up, connected with both wifi interfaces
and seemingly working just fine after a day, no microSD
involved at all.

Thanks for reading!
