10	$hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
11
12	If set, the ACPI module won't be loaded.
13
14	Note that the ACPI autodetection sets a number of hints to
15	pass information to the ACPI module.  These should not be 
16	overridden, or system behaviour will be undefined.

35# Tset Snum_ide_disks DSet the number of IDE disks

37	NOTE: this variable is deprecated, use root_disk_unit instead.
38
39	set num_ide_disks=<value>
40
41	When booting from a SCSI disk on a system with one or more IDE disks,
42	and where the IDE disks are the default boot device, it is necessary
43	to tell the kernel how many IDE disks there are in order to have it
44	correctly locate the SCSI disk you are booting from.

47# Tset Sroot_disk_unit DForce the root disk unit number.
48
49	set root_disk_unit=<value>
50
51	If the code which detects the disk unit number for the root disk is
52	confused, eg. by a mix of SCSI and IDE disks, or IDE disks with
53	gaps in the sequence (eg. no primary slave), the unit number can be
54	forced by setting this variable.
