I ran into a similar problem with an Atom board here.
The problem was here that the BIOS sees a MBR partition table (the
protective MBR with 1 GPT partition) without a booblable partition.
If you mark this GPT partition to bootable inside the protective MBR
with sfdisk on ${dev} or something similar, it should work.
