Are you trying to install android to the usb disk itself? I remembered that the target is specified as /dev/block/sda in the installer.img. So you are using the sda as both the source and the destination at the same time, which seems to problematic. If you want to build live usb, you can use Chris's make-live script (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1598). -- Chen
