don't forget you can make your own!

I have

targets/arima/hdama/Config.filo.lb

and I do this:

./buildtarget arima/hdama/Config.filo.lb

File is this:

# Sample config file for the Arima HDAMA

target hdama.filo
mainboard arima/hdama

romimage "normal"
    option USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE=0
    option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=0x10000
    option LINUXBIOS_EXTRA_VERSION=".0Normal"
    payload /opt/filo/normal/filo.elf
end

romimage "fallback" 
    option USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE=1
    option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=0x10000
    option LINUXBIOS_EXTRA_VERSION=".0Fallback"
    payload /opt/filo/fallback/filo.elf
end

buildrom ./linuxbios.rom ROM_SIZE "normal" "fallback"
