Strange. Maybe its because you have the -X version, but mine are
'standard' A7V600 boards, the bios version was 1004 from last year
sometime.

yes, that board is ahead of the -X variant which released 1004 last
week.

Mine is set with all the bootable devices disabled, apart from the last
one. Works fine.

so your boot order is nothing, nothing, nothing, SCSI ??

Yup.

did you just turn off all the others and leave it sat at the end, or
did you find that was where it had to be ?

I just normally do it that way so that its easier to set any of the
previous ones to CD or floppy if required, then remove them once I know
I won't be needing that option.
No other real reason. If the SCSI/external option is there in the other
boot positions, I'd expect it to work there as well.
Might be a bug of course and I just happened to pick a working config by
chance!

The BIOS (or at least mine) allows you to change the order as you wish to.
It is not intuitive how to move them up or down but I finally got desperate
and read the rather (to me) confusing instructions.
