step1: format the flash drive as FAT in winXP.
How exactly did you format the flash drive?

If you just used the Windows XP format utility that may be your problem. On many flash drives you need to use something like the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.

MOUNT_CHFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_CHFS(8)

NAME
mount_chfs -- mount a CHFS flash file system SYNOPSIS
mount_chfs DESCRIPTION
Mounts a flash file system from a flash(4) device. CHFS file systems can be only mounted from flash devices. For regular block devices like SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system. The file system will be created during the first mount. CHFS stands for Chip File System. EXAMPLES
mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt SEE ALSO
flash(4), fstab(5), mount(8), flash(9) HISTORY
CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name. AUTHORS
CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary. BUGS
CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011. Writing the FS full can cause problems. Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new bytes not having all zeroes, but filled with the old content instead. BSD
