MEDIA_MASK seems to be reporting "15" as it's value.
Is it safe to say, according to the following El Torito "No Emulating Booting", Filo doesn't support booting El Torrito cdroms using media_type="No Emulation"? (I'm using LiveCDs such as Gentoo, Ubunto, and yes, windowsxp -- all seem to be reporting "0" for emulation.)
Is this correct or is Qemu just turning my world upside down here?
I would assume you can just load your kernel from hdc instead of hdc1 then.
Booting Windows does not work anyways ;-)

I found it stefan. I'm not not well knowledgeable with Isolinux, but didn't want to just assume syslinux.cfg was the culprit like you said previously.
Snip from a post I just found on google:
---Snip--- "cd booting is one of the necessary features for FILO, especially parsing isolinux.cfg files but it needs a little bit restructuring and I never got around to do it yet. If someone wants to have a look, please do! Maybe parsing CMOS variables would go well with that." ---Snip---
I believe this was posted by Richard Smith around July 2006 on Linuxbios list.
Ug! ;-) No wonder people are just statically defining or typing in "hdc:/isolinux/vmlinuz"!
