[coreboot] SeaBIOS boot order / can't boot from USB

Hi all,

I'd like to learn more about SeaBIOS boot order, but unfortunately I wasn't
able to find the answer to my question on the wiki page:
https://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS#Configuring_boot_order

I would like to add a bootscript for SeaBIOS to search for USB boot devices
before falling back to the hdd or PXE.

If I have USB bootable media plugged in, SeaBIOS seems to immediately boot
from the hdd. I'm not able to boot from USB unless I physically unplug the
SATA connection.

When I look at the console log in cbmem, I don't see SeaBIOS searching the
USB controller at all.

It's an Ivy Bridge platform.

SeaBIOS log from cbmem:
Searching bootorder for: /pci at i0cf8/*@1f,2/drive at 0/disk at 0
Searching bootorder for: /pci at i0cf8/pci-bridge at 1c,3/*@0
Press ESC for boot menu.
