The "invalid handle_1ab103" just indicates that SeaBIOS is returning
an error to the caller - it is not a SeaBIOS error itself.  In this
case, the caller is looking for the second mass storage device and
SeaBIOS is returning a "not found" status code.

So, nothing looks out of the ordinary here.  More debugging info may
help.
