Enable virtio balloon device, optionally with PCI address @var{addr}. This
-option is deprecated, use @option{--device virtio-balloon} instead.

@item media=@var{media}
This option defines the type of the media: disk or cdrom.

+Force disk physical geometry and the optional BIOS translation (trans=none or
+lba). These parameters are deprecated, use the corresponding parameters

@item snapshot=@var{snapshot}
@var{snapshot} is "on" or "off" and controls snapshot mode for the given drive
(see @option{-snapshot}).
Specify which disk @var{format} will be used rather than detecting
the format. Can be used to specify format=raw to avoid interpreting
an untrusted format header.

+This option specifies the serial number to assign to the device. This
+parameter is deprecated, use the corresponding parameter of @code{-device}
+instead.

+Specify the controller's PCI address (if=virtio only). This parameter is
+deprecated, use the corresponding parameter of @code{-device} instead.
@item werror=@var{action},rerror=@var{action}
Specify which @var{action} to take on write and read errors. Valid actions are:
"ignore" (ignore the error and try to continue), "stop" (pause QEMU),
