Try using the real filename on the disc. I don't know how FILO deals with ISO9660 extensions, filename casing and such.
I thought that is what I am doing? hdc1:/GEEXBOX/boot/vmlinuz initrd=hdc1:/GEEXBOX/boot/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw init=linuxrc boot=cdrom installator
As you may know, ISO9660 does not support case sensitive filenames, but I do not know if and how FILO will do case conversion.
Ok, I got it. I don't know why it matters but I just used hdc: instead of hdc1: to boot the cd-rom.
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.
