I'm attaching the serial log of my boot. Maybe I just don't see where it's being executed and there's another problem?
FILO version 0.5 (myles@blue.cs.byu.edu) Thu Dec 13 13:53:00 MST 2007
menu: hda3:/boot/filo/menu.lst
It's all good to this point.
hda: LBA48 209MB: QEMU HARDDISK
Unrecognized partitioning scheme

OK: you're telling filo that the file is on the third partition, FILO is saying "Partitions? What partitions"
So if you losetup /dev/loop0 hd.img and type sfdisk -l /dev/loop0 what does it say?
