I can disable VGA with a jumper. It was disabled when I tried to boot.
I'm not sure if this also disables the device's visibility but jumpering
didn't help my problem.

I can't disable the IDE interface. There seems to be no such option.

Yes, I considered this. But even after having disabled everything
that's possible in the bios, the boot issue persists...
