10disk_image is a raw hard disk image for IDE hard disk 0. Some targets do
11not need a disk image.

13When dealing with options parameters as arbitrary strings containing
14commas, such as in "file=my,file" and "string=a,b", it's necessary to
15double the commas. For instance,"-fw_cfg name=z,string=a,,b" will be
16parsed as "-fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b".
