The next time I mounted the usb key, it properly showed up under /media/Debian Inst. But again cfdisk believe the partion is corrupted: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition begins after end-of-disk Press any key to exit cfdisk This is just for reference so that other people are not surprised. Even with this error message, I could use this USB Key to at boot time on a PC.
