So I just tested with -current.
Result is exactly the same.

But I noticed something. I unplugged the mSATA disks to format them on another computer, through a mSATA/USB adapter. I just tried to boot from these disks via USB and it worked!

So the very same disks cannot boot through mSATA (internal), but works perfectly fine through mSATA -> USB.

This is the case for all my disks (different brands, sizes) and through different internal mSATA slots.

Now that I mention that, I remember that some guy mentioned the very same behavior (with a totally different computer) in the thread mentioned above:

Got exactly the same issue with my Acer Aspire v5-573G several months ago.
Drove me crazy like hell. Nice to know that I wasn't the only one facing
this problem. Updating Acer BIOS didn't help, I had to remove HDD from
SATA-connected slot altogether to be able to boot past BIOS check.
Interesting observation, though - USB-booting worked without a hitch, both
from a flash drive and from the same HDD connected externally through
SATA-to-USB converter. I hope this helps with further investigation.
