Can somebody please update the Filo README file to including the
following concerning CD-ROM device file syntax?

ie. CD-ROM device is to be specified as "hdc1" and not "hdc"!



Following are the relevant Filo documentation clippings:

According to: http://te.to/~ts1/filo/CHANGES
"* Support for mounting boot disk image of El Torito bootable CD-ROM.
("hdc1" means the boot disk image of the CD-ROM at hdc.)"


However, I only see a very vague reference for the syntax of specifying
CD-ROM drives within Filo's README: 

"Notation of DEVICE for IDE disk and CD-ROM is same as in Linux (eg.
hda1 means the first partition of master device on primary IDE
channel)."

With the above Filo README information, the user is going to think
"/dev/hdb" or "hdb" instead, FILO wants to see "hdb1"!
