Hmm.  Okay, so I updated to the latest coreboot v2 just in case and then 
since that option is for FILO I ran make config and activated the new 
disk driver and made clean and then all.  None the less, I still get:

found PCI IDE controller 8086:24cb prog_if=0x8a
primary channel: compatibility mode
skipping 0 native PCI controllers, new index=0
Failed to open IDE.
Could not open menu.lst file 'hda1:/boot/filo/menu.lst'. Entering 
command line.

Alas.  Do you have any other ideas, Patrick?  Or anyone else?

Thanks in advance,

Jeffrey.
