commit 45b61f730d953b713dc2bb8b695d6555a5b8adb6 Author: Thomas Huth <thuth@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue Aug 29 15:29:48 2023 +0200 Commit: Michael Tokarev <mjt@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Sun Sep 10 19:40:11 2023 +0300 qemu-options.hx: Rephrase the descriptions of the -hd* and -cdrom options The current description says that these options will create a device on the IDE bus, which is only true on x86. So rephrase these sentences a little bit to speak of "default bus" instead.
