* Note:
* - In order for detection to work, jumper 3 must be set.
* - Drive A and B use a proprietary FTL from General Software which isn't
* supported as of yet so standard drives can't be mounted; you can create
* your own (e.g. jffs) file system.
* - Drive A and B use the resident flash disk (RFD) flash translation layer.
* - If you have created your own jffs file system and the bios overwrites
* it during boot, try disabling Drive A: and B: in the boot order.
