[root at localhost mystuff]# /usr/share/syslinux/mkdiskimage -z /dev/sdg 0 64 32
[root at localhost mystuff]# syslinux /dev/sdg1

PS. This change to using mkdiskimage would most likely work better than 
the above since it handles larger (1 gig+) SD/CF/USB Flashdrives better.

Well, it does on my system....

[root at localhost clee2]# /usr/share/syslinux/mkdiskimage -z /dev/sdg 0 255 63
[root at localhost clee2]# syslinux /dev/sdg1

[root at localhost clee2]# /sbin/fdisk /dev/sdg

Command (m for help): p
