No.  After a few seconds of booting you can hold it in reset as long as you
want.  Since there is no output (no post codes either), I haven't been able
to narrow it down.

What I'm hoping is that it is some setting that can be saved by the device
for the next boot.  Otherwise I have to figure out a workaround, since I
can't access the SuperIO before HT is initialized, and I need to hold the
board in reset before HT is initialized.

I don't know.

Since #1 is no, I don't think so.

Thanks,
