up to here everything looks fine.

I run this usually on an old eeePC 701 with Debian Jessie.

Some ideas:
* is the kernel missing FAT support so that it can't format or mount?
* can you run partprobe and cat /proc/partitions?
* maybe you must modify the makesd script to run partprobe after sfdisk.
