Try not using menu.lst and simply specifying the boot command line
with your kernel and parameters to FILO directly. You can either
compile that into FILO (which is what I do) or type it in at the
FILO prompt.

For testing I like to use Etherboot as payload, then I can hack on
FILO very easily and don't have to reflash the target each time I
want to test.

Personally I would also be interested in debug output from FILO's IDE
driver after applying my multi-sector read patch to FILO. But note
that my patch also seems to break reading of an initrd and I have not
found time to investigate that yet.
