I also tried Ranish Partition Manager to format the CF card in FAT12 mode.
Still syslinux gave the same error. Syslinux unix version executed under
leaf gives a grsec and segmentation fault.

I ran into this myself when I was building/testing the write protected DOM. I believe building a (for example) bering kernel without gresecurity could solve the issue. I am still in the process of defining a viable development platform for myself (UML is not viable because it needs X or a real console).

Now I'm beginning to pull my hair out. I know I can do "dd if=/dev/hda
of=/dev/hdc bs=512 count=1" to get the boot sector from HDD to CF. Then my
CF should become hda1.

I tried the fdisk.lrp, installed fdisk on leaf and went thro' that fdisk too
to create the partitions. Same result.

Is there an easier method? Am I missing something very trivial? Can a more
experienced person create a script or a program to do this off leaf?

I did not fight with the system for so long the first time around. If FDISK
with DOS6.22 alone is the issue, I'm stuck in trying to locate one. Is there
another alternative? Is mkfs.msdos available in leaf?

I have a DOS 6.22 floppy with fdisk and syslinux on my WP documentation page see http://www.think.ch/leaf/ADM . I would love though to have an alternative under a LEAF distribution. Maybe someone with a kernel compile environment could build a kernel without gresecurity and we might be there.
