SYNOPSIS
       grub-bios-setup [OPTION...] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

       You should not normally run this program directly.  Use grub-install instead.

       -a, --allow-floppy
              make  the  drive  also bootable as floppy (default for fdX devices). May break on some
              BIOSes.

       -b, --boot-image=FILE
              use FILE as the boot image [default=boot.img]

       --no-rs-codes
              Do not apply any reed-solomon codes when  embedding  core.img.  This  option  is  only
              available on x86 BIOS targets.

       -s, --skip-fs-probe
              do not probe for filesystems in DEVICE
