That doesn't look too bad. DVD was found and el Torrito recognised. However, besides the menu thing that hardly anyone uses, there's 3 and a half different ways to boot el Torrito: Floppy emulation, hard disk emulation and "No Emulation", the latter with some BIOSes loading the whole file specified, and others only the first 2k block.
Just trying to test the bootable cdrom feature, and I don't have any "disk emulation" cdroms around! I think almost all of mine use "floppy disk emulation" (aka LiveCD).
Should we plan configuring Grub with a entry to boot cdrom's using "Smart Boot Manager"?
ie.
/boot/grub/grub.conf title Smart Boot Manager root (hd1,7) kernel /boot/memdisk vga=0x0301 initrd /boot/sbm.img
Or would coding Filo to include "floppy disk emulation" in the works?
