How to use Filo as a payload ?

[Peter Fox]

I don't think it's that as I was using the cvs snapshot of
28-Oct-2003.

I was expecting elfboot to print something to say where it
was looking for the payload, at least, but it didn't...
I think that linuxbios can't find the payload, and was wondering
how it knew where to find it. I shall no doubt work it out
eventually, but was hoping for a quick pointer.

  Maybe this item in filo/FAQ applies?
  
  Q. LinuxBIOS (v1 tree) crashes or fails to verify checksum when 
  booting FILO.
  A. Make sure you are using the latest source of LinuxBIOS. It had a bug
     that interferes with checksum calculation, until recently.
