Hi Anders: There are two ways I know of to do this. One is to boot a floppy disk or hard disk image using ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX which probably isn't what you want. The second is to install a FreeDOS boot sector directly to the USB stick.
There is a utility from HP that may work for you. It will install a FreeDOS boot sector to a USB device and may work for your flash memory. WindowsXP does not make this easy. DOwnload SP27213.EXE from ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp27001-27500 You will have to run the installer and point the utility to a directory or device containing the FreeDOS kernel.sys and command.com files. I used a floppy disk image...this can just be a Windows directory. I believe the utility has a FreeDOS boot sector "built-in" to it. See also http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/faq/cgi-bin/viewfaq.cgi?faq=Installing_FreeDOS/316 The download link for the HP utility doesn't work from this page. The same tool can also install MSDOS. Let us know if you have any questions. A quick posting to the e-mail list about what you had to do and how it worked might help someone else.
