416 4 e 7 boot_first 420 4 e 7 boot_second 424 4 e 7 boot_third But I'm not sure what to do here, any suggestions? Should I edit this file? How do I make the CD or floppy the first boot? Is there documentation on this?
Doubtfull. Docs are scarce round these parts. The place to look would be in the FILO code. Stefan (I think it was Stefan) reciently added the capability to have some GRUBlike options on booting.
yep. that was me.
Sorry I can't be more descriptive but I've not played with it yet.

So unless FILO is using those options then I don't think they do anything.
FILO does not use them. I thought to remember Etherboot does (as it allows several targets in one a la tg3--ide_disk.zelf) but I might be wrong.
cd booting is one of the necessary features for FILO, especially parsing isolinux.cfg files but it needs a little bit restructuring and I never got around to do it yet. If someone wants to have a look, please do!
Maybe parsing CMOS variables would go well with that.
