+CONFIG_BFS_FS
+  Boot Filesystem (BFS) is a filesystem used under SCO UnixWare to
+  allow bootloader access the kernel image and other important files
+  during the boot process. It is usually mounted under /stand and
+  corresponds to the slice marked as "STAND" in the UnixWare
+  partition. This is useful if you want to access files on your /stand
+  slice from Linux. If you don't know what it is, say N.
