Archlinux iso copy to ram memdisk syslinux

Hi
anybody can help me please?
first sorry my English and i read this befor i post this.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … al_install
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … nd_memdisk
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=200269

thats what i test.

1) I have used GPARTED to format the partition to FAT32

2)

mount /dev/sdf1 /boot

3)

mkdir /boot/syslinux

4)

cp -r /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/*.c32 /boot/syslinux/

5)

extlinux --install /boot/syslinux

6)

dd bs=440 count=1 if=/usr/lib/syslinux/bios/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdf

7)

cp /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/memdisk /boot/syslinux/

5)

nano /mnt/syslinux.cfg

6)

LABEL some_label
    LINUX memdisk
    INITRD /archlinux-2015.07.01-dual.iso
    APPEND iso

7)

umount /boot

i dont understand why  /mnt/syslinux.cfg and not /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg so that the file on the usb drive
i copy the arch.iso to the root of the usb drive and to the syslinux directory, but syslinux dont boot.  The boot device list is right.

all the steps above i do without any error.

i hope somebody knows an answer?
thanks
