You should find it by name in this list. Select the options for 1st boot device and sata cdrom is for IDE mode only.

under "Advanced Bios Features":
First Boot Device.........Floppy
Second Boot Device.....SATA CDROM
Third Boot Device........Hard Disk
Boot Other Device.......Enabled
Quick Power On Self Test....Enabled
Thanks. Finally figured out how to get the optical drive listed by brand name.
It's kind of non-obvious why that would be required. Anyway, that enabled booting while bios was configured in Raid mode.
