I have applied the fix (alternate kernel) and that did fix the problem. However the alternate kernel is not without issues. I am unable to install 'zfsutils-linux' because the zfs modules cannot be built. There is more information at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1012083/cant-add- zfs-to-17-10

I think your problem is nothing to do with this BIOS bug. Youn are giving a boot priority to the internal drive before the optic drive. You should override the boot order by pressing a certain key such as F2, F8 and F9 just after the booting. Refer the manual of your machine to find out this boot

When I enter the BIOS (F2) and change the boot order and save it doesn't remember the settings. Changing to legacy mode is also not possible. Finally, directly booting via the quick boot menu (F8) is not able to boot anything except the HDD. It's definitely the BIOS bug discussed here. Because I
