Booting FreeBSD with Syslinux

Hi,
I am trying to make a FreeBSD 9.2 hybrid image (ie ISO & USB from the same file) and as part of that I need to use syslinux. Unfortunately I can't get Syslinux's mboot.c32 to run the kernel or loader as suggested at http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Mboot.c32 - it reports "Invalid Multiboot image: neither ELF header nor a.out kludge found".

I suspect I would be able to use memdisk as I have used that in the past with syslinux (for 7.x) however this was seems a lot cleaner and easier to generate.

Has anyone had any success with this?

Thanks.
