According to the tech blog at the AMI website:

https://www.ami.com/blog/2019/03/27/acronym-soup-what-is-bds/

one possibility *is* "Boot Device Selection". In short: "a BIOS function that allows a user to select and prioritize the order in which the system should attempt to boot from different media devices".

There is a page of info.
