Isolinux is only for booting from iso9660 filesystem. USB sticks typically
have (v)fat filesystems, so you should use syslinux for that. You don't
need to put a floppy image on the stick, syslinux can boot kernel and
initrd files directly from the stick. However, this is _very_ BIOS
dependent.
If you want to boot Knoppix from USB stick, you must also modify
miniroot.gz to include usb-uhci.o, usb-ohci.o and usb-storage.o,
otherwise /linuxrc can't mount the stick and find the cloop image.
bye,
Chris
