I believe the technical description for the comment is "bullshit" 8)

Almost all MFM controllers and RLL controllers will only run at the

Given the intended use of the driver today I don't see a big problem in
requiring "hd=" although you have to question the point of this boot code
rewrite when it seems primarily to be removing features
