Syslinux - Jan 2008 - Problem with memdisk and DOS on USB

I'm new to memdisk and I wanted to have multiple floppy boot images on
my USB key, I installed GRUB2 as the boot loader and have memdisk in
/syslinux and my images in /image, I first tried booting normal
images, memtest86+ works, my linux kernel work and they boot
perfectly.
Now using memdisk, I tried booting Spinrite which uses FreeDOS, it
booted fine with no argument them frozen at querying what disks are
available, I assumed it was a bit much for memdisk.
Then I tried DOS 6.22, in every way I tried, it ends at "Please insert
a system disk and press any key to continue...", I tried all the way
from memdisk-3.54 to 2.13 and 1.76 freezes at Booting.
Finally I had a Windows ME boot image, tried with memdisk-3.52, it
does not boot, I added safeint, and everything works! At last! Using
raw/bigraw make it stop at "Starting Windows Millenium Recovery...",
but with safeint it seems to be working perfectly.

I would like to add that for every image I tried, I tried to use
safeint, raw and bigraw, and after hours of trying, I'm giving up. I
also tried loading it from GRUB Legacy, with the same results. Is it
my Laptop's BIOS (HP NX6310), USB boot, any idea?

Thank you for your responses.

Have you tried using syslinux?  I really don't have time to second-guess 
all the bugs in Grub.
