-@findex -drive
-
-Define a new drive. Valid options are:
-
-@table @option
-@item file=@var{file}
-This option defines which disk image (@pxref{disk_images}) to use with
-this drive. If the filename contains comma, you must double it
-(for instance, "file=my,,file" to use file "my,file").
-
-Special files such as iSCSI devices can be specified using protocol
-specific URLs. See the section for "Device URL Syntax" for more information.
-@item if=@var{interface}
-This option defines on which type on interface the drive is connected.
-Available types are: ide, scsi, sd, mtd, floppy, pflash, virtio.
-@item bus=@var{bus},unit=@var{unit}
-These options define where is connected the drive by defining the bus number and
-the unit id.
-@item index=@var{index}
-This option defines where is connected the drive by using an index in the list
-of available connectors of a given interface type.
-@item media=@var{media}
-This option defines the type of the media: disk or cdrom.
-@item cyls=@var{c},heads=@var{h},secs=@var{s}[,trans=@var{t}]
-These options have the same definition as they have in @option{-hdachs}.
-@item snapshot=@var{snapshot}
-@var{snapshot} is "on" or "off" and allows to enable snapshot for given drive (see @option{-snapshot}).
-@item cache=@var{cache}
-@var{cache} is "none", "writeback", "unsafe", "directsync" or "writethrough" and controls how the host cache is used to access block data.
-@item aio=@var{aio}
-@var{aio} is "threads", or "native" and selects between pthread based disk I/O and native Linux AIO.
-@item format=@var{format}
-Specify which disk @var{format} will be used rather than detecting
-the format.  Can be used to specifiy format=raw to avoid interpreting
-an untrusted format header.
-@item serial=@var{serial}
-This option specifies the serial number to assign to the device.
-@item addr=@var{addr}
-Specify the controller's PCI address (if=virtio only).
-@item werror=@var{action},rerror=@var{action}
-Specify which @var{action} to take on write and read errors. Valid actions are:
-"ignore" (ignore the error and try to continue), "stop" (pause QEMU),
-"report" (report the error to the guest), "enospc" (pause QEMU only if the
-host disk is full; report the error to the guest otherwise).
-The default setting is @option{werror=enospc} and @option{rerror=report}.
-@item readonly
-Open drive @option{file} as read-only. Guest write attempts will fail.
-@item copy-on-read=@var{copy-on-read}
-@var{copy-on-read} is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read backing
-file sectors into the image file.
-@end table
-
-By default, the @option{cache=writeback} mode is used. It will report data
-writes as completed as soon as the data is present in the host page cache.
-This is safe as long as your guest OS makes sure to correctly flush disk caches
-where needed. If your guest OS does not handle volatile disk write caches
-correctly and your host crashes or loses power, then the guest may experience
-data corruption.
-
-For such guests, you should consider using @option{cache=writethrough}. This
-means that the host page cache will be used to read and write data, but write
-notification will be sent to the guest only after QEMU has made sure to flush
-each write to the disk. Be aware that this has a major impact on performance.
-
-The host page cache can be avoided entirely with @option{cache=none}.  This will
-attempt to do disk IO directly to the guest's memory.  QEMU may still perform
-an internal copy of the data. Note that this is considered a writeback mode and
-the guest OS must handle the disk write cache correctly in order to avoid data
-corruption on host crashes.
-
-The host page cache can be avoided while only sending write notifications to
-the guest when the data has been flushed to the disk using
-@option{cache=directsync}.
-
-In case you don't care about data integrity over host failures, use
-@option{cache=unsafe}. This option tells QEMU that it never needs to write any
-data to the disk but can instead keep things in cache. If anything goes wrong,
-like your host losing power, the disk storage getting disconnected accidentally,
-etc. your image will most probably be rendered unusable.   When using
-the @option{-snapshot} option, unsafe caching is always used.
-
-Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors repeatedly and is
-useful when the backing file is over a slow network.  By default copy-on-read
-is off.

-Instead of @option{-cdrom} you can use:
-@example
