Navigate to the Syslinux mbr directory:
# cd path/mbr
Where path is the folder to which you extracted Syslinux.
Locate the Syslinux master boot record file mbr.bin in the mbr directory and write it to the disk
using the following command:
# cat mbr.bin > /dev/sdX
Where X is the drive letter for the USB flash drive (for example, /dev/sda or /dev/sdb).
Navigate to the Syslinux unix directory:
# cd path/unix
Where path is the folder to which you extracted Syslinux.
Note – For later versions of Syslinux, the unix directory might be replaced with a linux
directory. If so, replace the unix directory name with linux.
From the Syslinux unix directory, enter the following command:
# ./syslinux /dev/sdX1
Where X is the drive letter for the USB flash drive (for example, /dev/sda or /dev/sdb), and 1
indicates the first partition.
