23	When booting from a SCSI disk on a system with one or more IDE disks,
24	and where the IDE disks are the default boot device, it is necessary
25	to tell the kernel how many IDE disks there are in order to have it
26	correctly locate the SCSI disk you are booting from.

33	If the code which detects the disk unit number for the root disk is
34	confused, eg. by a mix of SCSI and IDE disks, or IDE disks with
35	gaps in the sequence (eg. no primary slave), the unit number can be
36	forced by setting this variable.
