Syslinux - May 2006 - 2GB USBkey and mkdiskimage

Hi,

I'm trying to make a USB-ZIP bootable filesystem on my USBkey, which is 2GB.
The problem is that "mkdiskimage -4 /dev/sda 0 64 32" fails due to the
large
size. The number of sectors is 4005888/(64*32) = 1956, which is more than the 
maximum 1024. 

Is there any way around this or is it just not possible to make this USBkey 
look like a Zip drive?

Regards,
Ole Jacob

Sort-of-kind-of.  If you're sensitive to geometry, you care about C/H/S 
addresses, which does require that C <= 1023.  What you can do is you 
could create a drive with two partitions and boot from the firs one.
