I know - maybe I should have been clearer: it is at that point 
(or what would come after that point) that output/booting stops.

I can't tell as that's console output, and no further output 
happens and no response from the console; in order to boot
I had to (firstly boot 13.1 via microsd) then copy the 13.1 
vintage msdos contents to the usb3 equivalent then halt the rpi4
then took out the microsd and booted.
