A new factor in the original problem. Therefore a new thread.
I can respond to the original thread when there's time.

Happened to connect a USB hub before dealing with the Void drive.
Noticed the USB socket where the Void drive was connected had a black
plastic contact carrier and another socket had a blue carrier. Blue is
USB 3. Black isn't? So plugged the USB adapter with the Void drive
into the blue socket. Voila; Grub was able to boot the Void system
reliably. Spent the better part of a day investigating when a USB plug
just needed moving. =8~/
In case anyone is interested, these topics remain.
* Why does the ThinkCentre have differing USB sockets?
* With the adapter labeled USB 2.0, why is connection to a USB 3
socket necessary to boot the external system?
* The Grub2 manual could explain more about USB and the nativedisk
command. In fact, the manual needs work in many places.
