-From this point on, the Wii U needs the SD card to boot, and won't boot without it. It will load minute (the fw.img), which then applies the required patches from your SD card. (Needs to patch IOSU, so it doesn't overtake the superblock).

 Now, the Wii U should autoboot if no SD card is inserted. If an SD card is inserted, the minute menu should show up (even if the SD doesn't contain a fw.img). In that menu, you can select the Patch (SLC) and boot IOS (SLC) to load the plugins from the SLC and boot (no need to have them on the SD anymore).
