Yes, it's fairly common. My desktop (Gigabyte MB, mumble-mumble years
old) does it. Only with some things: it won't try to boot from a
Kindle or mobile phone, but it will try from a USB stick. Depends on
the filesystem/protocol, I suppose. What it won't do is give up after a
time and try the next device, it will just hang permanently.
