14 # @BiosAtaTranslation:
15 #
16 # Policy that BIOS should use to interpret cylinder/head/sector
17 # addresses. Note that Bochs BIOS and SeaBIOS will not actually
18 # translate logical CHS to physical; instead, they will use logical
19 # block addressing.
20 #
21 # @auto: If cylinder/heads/sizes are passed, choose between none and LBA
22 # depending on the size of the disk. If they are not passed,
23 # choose none if QEMU can guess that the disk had 16 or fewer
24 # heads, large if QEMU can guess that the disk had 131072 or
25 # fewer tracks across all heads (i.e. cylinders*heads<131072),
26 # otherwise LBA.
27 #
28 # @none: The physical disk geometry is equal to the logical geometry.
29 #
30 # @lba: Assume 63 sectors per track and one of 16, 32, 64, 128 or 255
31 # heads (if fewer than 255 are enough to cover the whole disk
32 # with 1024 cylinders/head). The number of cylinders/head is
33 # then computed based on the number of sectors and heads.
34 #
35 # @large: The number of cylinders per head is scaled down to 1024
36 # by correspondingly scaling up the number of heads.
37 #
38 # @rechs: Same as @large, but first convert a 16-head geometry to
39 # 15-head, by proportionally scaling up the number of
40 # cylinders/head.
