I never had no luck booting DSL via syslinux, setting up cylinders heads tracks just seems like a lot of hard work...

So install what version of DSL you like on pendrive then Grub using :

Code Sample

grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/(your pendrive mount point) /dev/sda

menu.1st set up...

Code Sample

timeout 5
default 0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Dsl [Embedded 1.0rc2]

root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off
vga=791 nomce noapic qemu quiet BOOT_IMAGE=KNOPPIX frugal
initrd (hd0,0)/minirt24.gz

In Bios I use USB-HDD to boot pendrive

YMMV
