I'm working for the "boot:" prompt of file-0.5 & it does require the specific designation of "hdc1" (or other device file with a numeral 1 as the suffix) to be probed properly from the "boot:" prompt. As well as, the filo-0.5/Config file). However, you are right, If you'll notice in my Filo output, Filo is automagically probing both my cdrom drives with only one CD-ROM drive being designated. :-) I'm planning on playing with some of my Atmel and DOC2000(MD2802) flash devices in a couple of days after I solder an extension wires w/ wirewraps from my motherboard 32 Pin DIP/TSOP socket. So, I'll follow-up on this once I'm able to flash w/o issues of yanking PCI cards out of my motherboards to provide space for a ziff socket. >From your notes, I'm speculating too Filo is probably working ok and it might just be having issues under the Qemu emulator. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Sun Jan 28 22:56:38 PST 2007 -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
