Here is what I did:

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G  -smp 4 -bios /tmp/b/qemu-x86/u-boot.rom
-cdrom /vid/software/linux/debian/debian-11.5.0-i386-DVD-1.iso -serial
mon:stdio
=> part set ide 2 iso

Partition Map for IDE device 2  --   Partition Type: ISO

Part   Start     Sect x Size Type
  1     6912        1   2048 U-Boot
  2     5912     1000   2048 U-Boot
=> ls ide 2:2
FAT sector size mismatch (fs=512, dev=2048): translating for read-only
            efi/
      160   ubootefi.var

1 file(s), 1 dir(s)

=>

Without this patch we cannot enable translation and it is not possible
to read the files.

Simon
