Syslinux - Oct 2008 - usb-fdd with isohybrid??

I finally got around to testing the isohybrid, and it seemed to work in the
creation, but in my
lab, it sees the flash as a usb-fdd, and when I tried to boot from it, I just
get a cursor in the
top left. In linux it comes up as a cdrom. 

Is there a process for this, or is this a case of having to use another method. 

Some time ago, I had use syslinux to boot from a flash, but I had to set an
option in the cmos
that would then not allow the udpcast cds to boot. 

Thanks.

USB-FDD is unlikely to work, as you have discovered.  See if you can 
change your BIOS settings to USB-HDD or USB-ZIP.
