Well, the versions of syslinux can be quite particular with certain pieces
of hardware. I've never had a problem with syslinux-v1.66. Is your DOS
partition less than the 25Meg limit? Did you reboot after partitioning?
If formatting with M$ tools later than DOS-6.0, did you "lock" the drive?
Is the drive "hda"? Some machines won't boot unless it is.

Your error would seem to indicate that the machine is not seeing syslinux
at all.
