Look for a file named usbkey.txt on your syslinux RPM. It has
instructions on how to make a bootable USB key.

Basically you have to use "mkdiskimage" to format the USB with a
special geometry, you have to use partition number 4, copy your
contents there, and then run "syslinux" to create the boot sector.
