My feeling from what Andrei said earlier is that it is supposed to
work.  nativedisk is supposed to load the whole usb stack including
usbms (USB Mass Storage) before activating any of the modules.  That
means to me that by the time they are all done being activated, the
whole stack of modules necessary to communicate from USB storage
devices is loaded.

Sure.  But that's not the symptoms of my problem.  After I have run
nativedisk, my system is locked up hard.  Even CTRL-ALT-DEL won't
reboot it.  To me that means a bug in the GRUB modules is seizing up
the hardware.

But that would still not lead to a hard lock up.  Just grub not being
able to read the disk.  It should still take input, echo it back, try
to run commands, and possibly fail due to a lack of disk.
