Wait.... take back that last statement on booting from USB still working.
 It may not -- I forgot that I was still on the old BIOS when I booted
FreeDOS from USB.  So that is something else to test -- to see if we can
boot from USB while the APC UPS is connected.

Armin,
  Thank you, that is what  I suspected.  Note that during my own testing of
the 1st April BIOS I encountered a new problem.  If I have my APC Back-UPS
RS-1500 plugged into a USB port on the back of the APU then the board fails
to boot from the mSATA.  It always attempts network PXE boot irrespective
of boot order (PXE is last).  I would be curious if you have a non-storage
USB device that you could plug in and see if you can reproduce this
problem... if you don't have a UPS that can be monitored by USB then try a
USB web camera, USB microphone, sound card, anything you might have lying
around that is not a storage device and see if you can still boot from
mSATA.

Booting from USB still works... because I was able to book FreeDOS and
flash the new BIOS with my UPS still attached.

Thanks
David
