[syslinux] Memdisk, Ghost and the netac U230

Hi,

Im having some issues with ghost.

Basically my setup is this.

Im using a netac U230 usb flash drive which supports FDD booting 
(emulates a teac usb floppy in a seperate 1.44mb partition), ive 
installed syslinux onto this (as the t61's i was testing this on wouldnt 
boot a normal dos image).

 From this, i have memdisk loading a windows ME based dos boot disk that 
to a netware network and maps drives etc and executes a batch file with 
ghost and its parameters, unfortunately editting the batch file to 
include -FNI switch ive seen suggested isnt possible, Also this is the 
reason i have to use the u230 - booting a normal usb drive in hdd mode 
means the usb drive is the first hard disk device and gets overwritten 
due to the batch targeting hd0.

Ive been reading there was some issues with "EDD" ive tried this both 
enabled and disabled with no luck.

Im wondering if the emulation mode the U230 is using is confusing syslinux?

any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
