Odd. I don't understand that... you *did* make the filesystem type b,
right, and bootable with fdisk? And then format it vfat?
Btw, dunno if you missed it, but here's a full script to do this:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# < 2 ]]; then
echo "usage: $0 <devname> <path/to/install.iso>"
echo " Example: $0 sdb /scratch/CentOS-5.4-bin-DVD.iso"
echo " Note: you must install livecd-tools before running this."
exit
fi
/sbin/sfdisk -n -uM /dev/$1 << EOF
,10,b,*
,,83
;
;
EOF
mkfs -t vfat /dev/${1}1
mkfs /dev/${1}2
/usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk $2 /dev/${1}1
mount /dev/${1}2 /mnt
cp $2 /mnt/
# end of script
mark
