Pi5 is fussy about its USB cable in the opposite direction to a Pi4: older Pi4s, if you used a USB Superspeed cable then it wouldn't come up. Pi5: if you DON'T use a USB Superspeed cable, it gets all arsey about booting from USB.

@joshie 🏳️‍🌈 I have mine on an Apple iPad PSU which does 5V/4A which it seems to like: the magic "I'm not going to be a twat about USB" flag comes on anyway.
