Sorry, I'm not going through hundreds of screenshots. I think it will
be easier for me to wait until the boxes @CERN are connected. That
might even happen today.

My current suspicion is that this problem is related to your box being
a new hardware revision. Support for it was added to the BSP only
after my feedback. It's possible that this revision also has a new
BIOS. Makes one wonder what else has changed that needs to be
reflected in the manual :/
