I'm supplying two patches -- preferably patching the FILO README
directly on the openbios.org cvs branch.
The FILO Readme @:
http://openbios.org/viewvc/trunk/filo-0.5/?root=FILO
/trunk/filo-0.5/README
(I also just posted this to the openbios mailing list but I got an "out
of the office until Jan 29 notice.)
As an alternative & probably less desirable as the Filo README should
have this correction, the Linuxbios FILO page:
http://www.linuxbios.org/index.php/FILO
