I came to that idea too. However, it complains that the appropriate
filesystem is not found. I tried both "-t hfs" and "-t hfsplus" and all the
partition numbers including using a null number and 3, even, just for
completeness.

Since the original posting, I went back the G5 and reformated the Flash
Drive with Apple's version of UFS. This didn't help at all (about all that
seemed to change in the partition map was the "H" in the type column
changed to a "U"). I found it somewhat odd that Apple doesn't see fit to
provide a DOS-ish format in Disk Utility. Perhaps I'm missing something
there as well ... sigh.
