12 Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
13 Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
14 BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
15
16 This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
17 obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
18 not yet implement this feature.

25 Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the
26 kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default. EDD can be dynamically set
27 using the kernel parameter 'edd={on|skipmbr|off}'.

33 Add the firmware-provided (unmodified) memory map to /sys/firmware/memmap.
34 That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area
35 for the next kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.

44 If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
45 Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
46 write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
47
48 Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
49 at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
50 available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
51 <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

59 default y if IA64
60 help
61 If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
62 automatically use the primary console device it describes
63 as the Linux console, say Y here.
64
65 If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
66 use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
67 say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
68 device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
69 you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
70
71 Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
72 so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
73 on how the driver discovers devices.
74
75 You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
