[PATCH 4/7] grub-install: hook up --emu-512b to sector size autodetectio


From: Mihai Moldovan
Subject: [PATCH 4/7] grub-install: hook up --emu-512b to sector size autodetection in biosdisk
Date: Sun, 24 May 2020 13:43:05 +0200

Chances are that if you need the
native-sector-addressing-with-512-bytes-lengths feature, you will also
need grub to autodetect the native sector size later on.
