Subject: [PATCH 4/7] grub-install: hook up --emu-512b to sector size autodetection in biosdisk
Date: Sun, 24 May 2020 13:43:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200524114308.1009-5-ionic@ionic.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200524114308.1009-1-ionic@ionic.de>
Chances are that if you need the
native-sector-addressing-with-512-bytes-lengths feature, you will also
need grub to autodetect the native sector size later on.
