The reason I re-formatted it was that fdisk said there was no valid partition table after dd-ing bootdisk.img onto /dev/sdb .
I thought small usb devices generally didn't have a partition table and just have one filesystem on the raw device. But I don't have a lot of experience with them. In any case the img file should have whatever
