Tried it just now with the 9.0-BETA3 memstick image.

Followed by removing the memory stick without unmounting it to avoid
overwriting part of the image. No obvious problems, but no, it's not

Me not being one that uses hald or devd for USB, I'm certain the device
was not mounted when writing the memstick image. In the former case of
your test, is the USB stick bootable?
I cleared the first 34 blocks and wrote it again to make sure, but yes.
