Please try getting Syslinux to run first on your USB drive, and later on adding
FreeDOS. Are you sure all Syslinux/FreeDOS files are in the root of your USB
drive? I guess so, from my limited amount of Linux knowledge.

I think HPA included a script for installing Syslinux to USB drives in the
Syslinux package, which is currently at 3.07 or so.

Anyway, it looks like a problem with loading Syslinux, or does Syslinux itself
work OK but FreeDOS bootsector fails?
a bit more info please.
www.fdos.org/kernel contains latest interim builds from CVS.
