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.
You're welcome. The abit boards have been that way for some time and it's even true for an IDE optical, it will be listed by brand name.
