Yeah but you don't have your Intel controller set to raid.

vailr, what you're seeing in Standard cmos features is normal if your Intel controller is set to Raid or AHCI. I'm running 16.b04 and see the same as you. Why you can't boot off a sata cd beats me but these bios are beta for a reason.
Do you see your sata optical drive in the Intel bios? If I had one of those I'd test for you, but I don't.

I guess the same error (seeing only 4 SATA Channels under "Standard CMOS Features") occurs with any bios version, whether it's version 16.beta or the latest "official" bios, version 14. So: I'm back to version 16.b10 for now. And still unable to boot from a SATA optical disk, while bios is set in Raid mode.
Is anyone else running a bootable Raid 0 pair (off the Intel Raid controller)? Did you run into the same problem?
I'm thinking that maybe the Intel Raid firmware needs updating. My previous Gigabyte 865-DS3 board included a Raid firmware (for the JMicron raid controller) update as part of a motherboard bios update.
