The Retron5 will boot to recovery when a SD Card is mounted at boot time with the magic string:
"RETRON5___BOOTSD"
the first 16 bytes of /dev/block/mmcblk0 are dumped with hexdump in mountfs.sh and compared to
RTER_5NOOB__DSTO
This also causes /data and /cache to mount to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
The easiest way to get this file structure on an sd card is to just use hyperkins factory reset instructions
