Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80
tracks. 360K type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80 tracks.
Enabled
BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or 80
tracks. Note that BIOS can not tell from 720K, 1.2M or 1.44M
drive type as they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track
number. Note that there will not be any warning message if the
drive installed is 360K.

Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate A20 is a
device used to address memory above 1 Mbytes. Initially, the gate A20 was
handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today, while keyboards still provide this
support, it is more common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide
support for gate A20.
