I've run into a rather odd problem. It seems that I can format and make
bootable CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives under Windows 98SE and MS-DOS
6.22 that will boot to a A: prompt on my system.
But when I try making the same CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives bootable
under linux using syslinux I get nothing, not even a error message. It's
like the syslinux bootloader doesn't even exist on the CF/SD cards and
USB Flashdrives.
I've looked at the CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives using Gparted and it
says the cards using syslinux are bootable, so that's not the problem.
I'm pretty sure the CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives aren't being
formated as USB-ZIP under Win98se and MS-DOS 6.22, so why can I create
bootable CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives under Win98se and MS-DOS 6.22,
but not under Linux using syslinux?
Am I overlooking something here?
Here's a look at my motherboard and BIOS.
