Dave, I had this problem also, with an IDE hard drive. It would write the syslinux file on the drive (in spite of the lock error), but wouldn't boot beyond the one line syslinux message. I don't know exactly what caused the problem, but using the documentation (for wireless, but the same concepts apply) at http://www.dublerfamily.com/leaf/ worked for me. Pete has a 'dachstein utilities' disk there also, which uses an earlier version of syslinux. I'd suggest reading the .doc file at the above link, pulling the utilities disk, and following his instructions. Don't know what the real difference is (even the version that ships with Bering failed for me) but it gave me the results I needed!
