sorry, that subject should have read 'drive geometry'

Hi everyone,
has there been any work done in the last few months towards hard disk
geometry, so that partition tables / mbr's in raw hard disk files can be
stored for later use?
That's something that would be tremendously useful with the -hda option,
so that one could use a file for a virtual disk and expect qemu to
recognize the partition information from it. Usually if one does a
typical install with a linux distro, the linux install will format the
main hard disk to have 3 partitions (boot,root,swap), but if it's just a
file then that partition / mbr info isn't really recognized by qemu.
I've been out of the loop w/ what's happening on the bleeding edge with
qemu for a few months, so I thought I'd just ask here.
