FAT12 sucks. The smallest pendrive I saw was 128MB and that was 18

can force the installer to use an existing FAT16/FAT32 filesystem.
This procedure will cause the installer to detect a valid DOS
partition and skip the partitioning part and proceed to install.
FAT12 does't suck. It works just perfectly fine for floppy disk, where
it is even preferable to FAT16.
The reason why the OP sees that partition is a bug in FDisk which has
been discussed ad nauseam here on the list and is already fixed with a
newer version of FDisk, thanks to Tom Ehlert, and all the other
discussion about this is absolutely pointless...
