No, this is not a bug.
"hdx" refers to the entire device "x" "hdx1" refers to the first primary partition of "x" "hdx2" refers to the second primary partition of "x"
"hdb" refers to the entire CD-ROM. "hdb1" refers to the "boot disk image" in the CD-ROM.
"Boot disk image" is something like 1.44MB floppy disk image, as specified in El Torito.
However, recent distributions don't use the disk image. They use the entire CD-ROM instead, thanks to isolinux. So you can use "hdb" to boot them.
Sorry for the confusion. My English was (is) bad, so the README should be re-written anyway to clarify things.
What you just wrote, sounds excellent to me.
(Is it more proper to post Filo related material to the openbios.org mailing list. If so, I have done so.)
