FILO does not use them. I thought to remember Etherboot does (as it
allows several targets in one a la tg3--ide_disk.zelf) but I might be
wrong.
cd booting is one of the necessary features for FILO, especially parsing
isolinux.cfg files but it needs a little bit restructuring and I never
got around to do it yet. If someone wants to have a look, please do!
Maybe parsing CMOS variables would go well with that.
