    Is that possible? I can boot from USB, but I don't see the option to do so from SD.

    I think the SD card is for both or either a Security feature and or storage. But that is it. No booting... But you can boot from 53 other things!

    You can still boot from SD card if you insert it into a USB SD card reader.

    You miss the point, not being a Toughbook owner. The CF-29 MK4 model has an SD card reader on the side for an SD card... This is made for securrity primarily. Not booting from or off of.

    The SD card reader is primarily for storage it has nothing to do with security. You must be confusing it with the Smart Card reader.
