Are these the same parameters as you use with the boot loader when
booting with the factory BIOS? If not, why?

You have to recompile FILO and hence LinuxBIOS if FILO is your
payload.

There's also a setting in FILO to pause and wait for user input
during boot. This is good to not have to recompile/reflash LB over
and over.
