I'm trying to use filo to boot from a cdrom which is on hdb, it looks to me that using boot: hdb1 should do it but i'm getting Unsupported sector size 2352.
Eltorito is enabled in the Config file.
any suggestions?

What CD (medium) did you use? Is it CD-XA or something? Or does that happen to every CDs you try?
Eltorito is enabled in the Config file.
Note that El Torito is not always needed to boot CD. In FILO, El Torito is used just as a partitioning scheme, and the contained image (like syslinux) is never executed, because they are realmode code that calls legacy BIOS. See some examples of how to boot a CD in these posts. http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-October/005568.html http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-October/005633.html

I found a solution to this in the SCSI CD-ROM driver of Linux. It just treats weird sector sizes like this as 2048. Linux IDE CD driver doesn't even see the sector size reported by the drive and always uses 2048.
Russel, can you try this patch and see it helps?
