Hi:

i'm trying to make a bootable USB stick from the openSUSE 11.1
netinstall ISO image.

The USB stick details with partition info is as follows.

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 2004 MB, 2004877312 bytes
62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1018 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3844 * 512 = 1968128 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6f20736b

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *           1         261      501611    6  FAT16
/dev/sdb2             262        1018     1454954   83  Linux


/mnt/boot/i386/mkbootdisk --32 --partition /dev/sdb1 /mnt
disk /dev/sdb, partition /dev/sdb1
error: activate failed

Any pointers to what i could be missing here ?


thanks
Saifi.
