Hi all, still struggling with getting pi to boot from USB
this is the dump from lsblk, which suggests its booting from USB, and SD card is there as MMCBLKO.
Dont know why SD card states part boot ??, but when I remove SD card PI freezes and when I boot with no SD card it is dead.
george@raspberrypi:~ $ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 232.9G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /media/george/bootfs
└─sda2 8:2 0 4.9G 0 part /media/george/rootfs
mmcblk0 179:0 0 29.8G 0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 256M 0 part /boot
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 29.6G 0 part /

lsblk is clearly showing that you are running from the SD card (mmcblk0). The BOOT partition (mmcblk0p1) is mounted on /boot and the ROOT partition (mmcblk0p2) is mounted on /. This is normal for having booted from the SD card. Removing the SD card will it's running stands a very good chance of corrupting its contents.
Your USB device was automounted on /media/george by the file manager (pcmanfm).
A Raspberry Pi 3 can be finicky about natively booting USB devices. If trying different USB devices still fails, you might find Running Raspbian from USB Devices : Made Easy useful.
