about compact flash

Hi All,
I gone through the thread "about compact flash"
I too face a similar porblem.It is glad to see a fruitful result for 
this discussion.
Please help me out too.
My need demands me ext2 filesystem,unfortunately ,I found that syslinux 
doesnot support ext2.
http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php#bootable

The procedure i followed is as listed

1.Kept the 16 MB flash onto the IDE slot
2.bash# mke2fs -m0 /dev/hdc1
   bash# mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt
3.Took a minimised compiled Kernel
4.bash#mkdir /mnt/boot
5.copied a bzImage /mnt/boot/
6.bash# cp /boot/boot.b /mnt/boot/
7.cp -dpR entire filesystem to  /mnt (except for boot directory)
8.bash# cd /mnt/etc
9.edited lilo accordingly
10.bash# lilo -r /mnt

After running lilo i booted my box with flash.
The booting struck showing LI
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ravi
