Help text

Check for the 0x55 0xAA signature of a DiskOnChip, and do not continue with probing if it is absent. The signature will always be present for a DiskOnChip 2000 or a normal DiskOnChip Millennium. Only if you have overwritten the first block of a DiskOnChip Millennium will it be absent. Enable this option if you are using LinuxBIOS or if you need to recover a DiskOnChip Millennium on which you have managed to wipe the first block.
