Hi Masoud,
The coreboot table parser in older FILOs does not support the "FORWARD" tag
http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/browser/trunk/payloads/libpayload/arch/i386/coreboot.c#L140
I'd suggest that you use newer versions of FILO. However, implementing
support for that tag in older versions should be rather straight
forward, so you can give that a try, too..
