+@example
+qemu -global ide-drive.physical_block_size=4096 -drive file=file,if=ide,index=0,media=disk

+In particular, you can use this to set driver properties for devices which are
+created automatically by the machine model. To create a device which is not
+created automatically and set properties on it, use -@option{device}.
