New submission from Michael Gebetsroither <gebi at grml.org>:

grml2usb doesn't find /mnt/tmp -> /dev/sda1 and calls syslinux without device.

# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
# grml2usb grml64-medium_2008.11.iso /mnt/tmp
grml2usb 0.9.1 - install grml-system to usb-device

no device
no device
WARNING: make sure that your usb-device is preformated with vfat.
Format your device (erases all data) via:  mkfs.vfat -F 16 -v

Mounting grml64-medium_2008.11.iso to /mnt/test/: done
Notice: /mnt/tmp already mounted - continuing anyway
Installing data from grml64-medium_2008.11.iso to /mnt/tmp (will take some
time): done
Unmounting /mnt/tmp and /mnt/test/: done
Running syslinux on : Usage: syslinux [-sfr][-d directory][-o offset] device
Problem when running syslinux?
Try to call it manually via 'syslinux ' if you installed grml to
