After you update it, the boot order for the stock Debian + MATE build is: SD, USB 2.0, eMMC.
It is possible to run the OS off the SSD by pointing extlinux on the eMMC to rootfs on the SSD. We just need more detailed instructions. Please, feel feel to write them, and post them on the Wiki or in this thread.
This is not to say other ways of booting from the SSD are not possible. However, as Luke wrote, flashing the SPI can be dangerous as it could disable the computer, requiring soldering or some other invasive hardware hacking to fix it. Since this is beyond the capability of most users, they should wait for a safe way of doing it.
