                     generated:

            0x8000      Apparent geometry was already set by the time that
                        the TSD first gained control.

            0x4000      Actual geometry was already set by the time that
                        the TSD first gained control

            0x2000      Actual geometry was set from the apparent geometry
                        by the TSD because the actual geometry was null

            0x1000      Apparent geometry was set from the ROM data (INT 13
                        function 8) by the TSD

            0x0800      Apparent geometry was set from the BPB in the
                        primary partition boot record by the TSD

            0x0400      Media BPB was initialized by the TSD

            0x0200      Recommended BPB was initialized by the TSD

            0x0100      Recommended BPB was set from the BPB in the primary
                        partition boot record by the TSD
