setup an existing FAT16 formatted USB key:

      $ syslinux /dev/sda1
      $ mount /dev/sda1 x/
      $ echo "default histar" > x/syslinux.cfg

then just copy over a HiStar image:
     
      $ make
      $ cp /obj/boot/bimage.init x/histar

if booting errors or hangs:
   
      install a valid MBR:
      $ install-mbr /dev/sda

      check that /dev/sda1 is marked bootable in the partition table:
      $ fdisk /dev/sda

      make sure BIOS is booting USB key in "USB-HDD" mode..see
      http://syslinux.zytor.com/usbkey.php for hints.

in cygwin:

      $ syslinux.exe -m -a f:
      $ echo 'default histar' > /cygdrive/f/syslinux.cfg
      $ cp ~/jos64/obj/boot/bimage.init /cygdrive/f/histar
