anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition.
Depending on the CPU/chipset design, these options can speed up
memory access when enabled.
This option speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) conducted as

This function determines the sequence in which the computer will

1.44 MB are all 80 tracks.

tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB,
and 1.44 MB type drives as they are all 80 tracks.
isabled
BIOS will not search for the floppy drive type by track
