Any line containing "(ahci)" was after having used "nativedisk".
Any line containing "(hd0)"  was after *NOT* having used "nativedisk".
The only time the SD card was seen was when the USB reader was used.
All lines followed a power off/on cycle to force identical starting 
conditions.

My reference to "5-in-1 reader" was reference to
https://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-thinkpad-t510/specs/ .
I have no means to verify CNET's statement.

I'd place more trust in my statement in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/04/msg00729.html saying:
On the Lenovo ThinkPad T510 which started this thread I ran lspci as root.
I believe the relevant lines are:
0d:00.0 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd MMC/SD Host Controller (rev 01)
0d:00.1 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5U2xx (R5U230 / R5U231 / 
R5U241) [Memory Stick Host Controller] (rev 01)

Side question
When interrupting the grub menu by typing C, is there any functional 
equivalent of using the "script" command in a terminal window?
