Hello Mark!
Many thanks!!! The HP utility worked perfectly from winXP! It needed location
of system files, and I used the FreeDos ODIN diskette. The PC104 can now boot
from the CompactFlash.
"Naturally", the HP utility was not the first thing I tried. The PC bios had
legacy USB1 support, but DOS communication with CF reader was too buggy and
produced rather interesting results ("now You se'em, now You don't"). I also
tried various DOS USB drivers. The DUSE (ver4.9) could detect USB Storage
Device (both connect and remove), but failed to initiate it's driver. Panasonic
USBASPI.SYS (from f2h_usb.exe archive) together with Novacs di1000cd.sys (from
mhairu.zip) produced a similar result. Still, I am impressed and I believe it
can work in many cases. DUSE is well documented and can be loaded from command
prompt (but avoid emm386). Here are some links:

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.

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.
