      Description of problem:

          When deploying OCP (using ABI) into diskless Dell PowerEdge R660 servers with FC SAN storage attached, FC.Slot (LUN) does not appear first in the boot order in BIOS (after first reboot, i.e. after RHCOS written to boot LUN), keeping virtualmedia (attached Agent ISO) first in the list, resulting in a booting loop (from ISO). Version of iDRAC is v7.20.60.50, slightly newer than tested in Red Hat.
