[Qemu-devel] [Bug 944628] [NEW] Documentation for mtdblock, option-rom, and pflash is non-existent

[Brian Vandenberg]

Public bug reported:

The options -mtdblock, -option-rom, and -pflash are severely under-
documented.  For example:

-mtdblock  -- It isn't at all clear what this does from --help or the
documentation, and it's especially not clear that it's only implemented
for ARM right now

-option-rom is only implemented for a handful of architectures,
including palm, pc, pci, and one or two others

-pflash looks to be implemented for most if not all architectures, but
there's nothing informing the user that it replaces the bios if -bios
isn't used in tandem with -pflash, and it isn't clear whether the user
could add multiple pflash roms
