First you need to partition/format the CF just like any other drive.
You didn't say what size CF you're using, but I have had problems with
Syslinux booting from a partition larger than 32MB.
Once you have your FAT partition created (and set bootable), just copy
the contents of your floppy to the CF card (should be c: under DOS).
Next "syslinux c:". (In my experience, setting up syslinux works best
from DOS.)
Good luck,
Chris
