There is no choice to boot from SATA in the BIOS, there is a choice for CDROM, but the motherboard seems to be interpreting it differently, as it always boots from the HD no matter how I have the boot sequence set.........
Any ideas?

Thanks, Roadrunner!
You got me thinking and I realized that only the SATA 0/1 connector on the GA-P35-DS3L is IDE enabled. I swapped one of the DVD SATA cables to that connector and now I can boot from that DVD burner.
Nice work!
