Pitfall - SATA CDROM drive is not seen by the BIOS so I cannot boot from 
it or
is there a way to get around this? Any other method to boot from? This 
motherboard isn't one of the
newest, in contrary, quite old. Doesn't seem to support boot from USB 
device, so I depend on
getting the system booted from CDROM.
