I think you also need to add a boot sector to the drive. On my 64-bit system:

	#dd if=/usr/lib64/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdc
  
After doing your suggestion I get
same thing it just sets there with a blinking cursor.

I took an older 512MEG usb instead of my 8 GIG one,
did the exact same steps and I get
Could not find boot image: linux

I copied all files what is missing?

Interesting on the 512M device I copied the vmlzi586 to linux and it starts to boot.... great...
Now how do I get the 8GIG part to boot?
