Ok, I got it. I don't know why it matters but I just used hdc: instead of hdc1: to boot the cd-rom.
Oh yes! I am sorry I missed that in your previous post. It matters because discs can not be partitioned like hard drives.
Also, the documentation is a little misleading. If your using filo with grub (USE_GRUB = 1), and want to boot to your linux install disk you have to do a mixture of grub and filo. Like grub you have to append a kernel (and parameters), then an initrd, and give a boot command. Like filo you have to give absolute paths.
Yes. FILO includes a bunch of GRUB code when USE_GRUB=1. I do not like GRUB and make sure I always disable USE_GRUB. :)
How does everyone feel about adding something like this to the wiki?
