Subject: NS 2.0 or 68040 board loses boot device specification?

After I installed my new 68040 board and restored power to my cube, it
wanted to boot from an OD, in spite of the fact that I had previously
specified SD booting.  After resetting the boot device from Preferences,
subsequent reboots used the SD as expected.

Later, however, when I powered off my 68040 cube to clean the OD drive,
it again lost the boot drive selection when I restored power.

Is there a known sequence for making the 68040 ROM lose track of the
boot device?
