/* This code was used, because we belived some BIOSes had a problem
that they didn't pass a booting drive correctly. It turned out,
however, stage1 could trash a booting drive when checking LBA support,
because some BIOSes modified the register %dx in INT 13H, AH=48H.
So it becamed unclear whether GRUB should use a pre-defined booting
drive or not. If the problem still exists, it would be necessary to
switch back to this code. */
