D34010WYK with BIOS 0022 does not recognize USB Flash or Optical drives without Legacy BIOS boot devices enabled.

- Mushkin 120GB mSATA SSD MKNSSDAT120GB-V
- Dell DP10N USB DVD-ROM Drive
I've tried installing Mint 15 / Saucy to no avail. The install appears to succeed until it can't find any bootable devices on first boot. At this point I think I've tried every possible set of boot related BIOS options, both with BIOS 0018 and now 0022. I also tried installing Windows Vista from DVD, with Legacy BIOS enabled, and got the error, "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." That's because it's booting in legacy mode. If it had booted it UEFI mode, it wouldn't have an issue with the GPT partition.
Here you can see that it detects the USB Optical drive, mSATA SSD and NIC in Legacy mode:
When you uncheck the Legacy Boot option, UEFI doesn't see any of them.
With the USB Optical drive connected, it stops at, "BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s). Possible causes include recent changes to BIOS Performance Options or recent hardware change. Press 'Y' to enter Setup or 'N' to cancel and attempt to boot with previous settings." With the drive connected, it will not go into setup when you press Y. Disconnecting the drive will allow you to continue.
Without the USB Optical drive, it stops at, "A bootable device has not been detected." If you go into setup it sees the UEFI NIC.
Secure boot is disabled, in case that makes any difference.
I'm going to experiment more with USB flash drives next, however I think it's definitely a bug that UEFI doesn't support the optical drive.
