I had this problem on my Intel motherboard, and found out you can
disable booting from external drives. "Boot to removable devices" or
similar in the BIOS. Failing that, changing the boot order so that the
firewire/USB device is at the very end of the boot list may help your
situation.

Is CONFIG_EDD set?
CONFIG_EDD:
Say Y or M here if you
want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services real mode BIOS calls to
determine which disk
BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
