So to boot from a 7042 the only theoretical choice is the Highpoint board, and for that we need to somehow coax it into not overwriting GRUB every time the onboard BIOS reinitializes.
.. With the drive set-up as a "JBOD volume" in the HighPoint BIOS, I've now got a system that boots/runs from a single drive attached to the HighPoint 2300 PCIe board (Marvell 7042 - sata_mv). So that much works, which is good! I also then upgraded the card's BIOS from v1.0 to v2.2, and didn't notice anything different.
