If the driver is compiled into the kernel, the same parameters can be
also set using, e.g., the LILO command line. The preferred syntax is

with 'st.'. For instance, to set the maximum number of scatter/gather
segments, the parameter 'st.max_sg_segs=xx' should be used (xx is the
number of scatter/gather segments).

string st=. Here is an example:
- st=buffer_kbs:64,write_threhold_kbs:60
+ st=buffer_kbs:64,write_threshold_kbs:60
The following syntax used by the old kernel versions is also supported:
the device dependent address. It is recommended to set
this flag unless there are tapes using the device
dependent (from the old times) (global)
- MT_ST_SYSV sets the SYSV sematics (mode)
+ MT_ST_SYSV sets the SYSV semantics (mode)
MT_ST_NOWAIT enables immediate mode (i.e., don't wait for
the command to finish) for some commands (e.g., rewind)
