It would be interesting to see a comparison of fdisk -l for USB treated
without and with isohybrid. I previously found that USB drives would not
boot if the boot partition doesn't start on block 1; most tools, including
fdisk and gparted, seem to put the start of the partition on much higher
blocks when used on USB drives.
