+  which are always removable.  RMB is "on" or "off".

@@ -116,7 +120,12 @@ For USB devices, the old way is actually different:
 Provides much less control than -drive's HOST-OPTS...  The new way
 fixes that:
 
-    -device usb-storage,drive=DRIVE-ID
+    -device usb-storage,drive=DRIVE-ID,removable=RMB
+
+The removable parameter gives control over the SCSI INQUIRY removable (RMB)
+bit.  USB thumbdrives usually set removable=on, while USB hard disks set
+removable=off.  See the if=scsi description above for details on the removable
+parameter, which applies only to scsi-disk devices and not to scsi-generic.
