Success!!!! Board boots custom bit file from Micron PROM. Actually used Active Serial x4 to speed up programming.

Did everything is Application Note AN-370. Was using the Stratix V GX evaluation board that has an A7 part and a Micron 256Mb SPI Serial Flash. Remember to COMPRESS the bit file. A7 bit file is larger than 256Mb (~1.48Mb larger).

Can't wait for SW support for the 512Mb Flash....

Ignore the double attachment....Same pic.
