But I did reformat the key with fdisk, making a new empty DOS partition table and then making a partition and fs following your instructions. It seems to be OK now---at least both devices are recognized when I insert the key (meaning: no need to insert it twice). Maybe the problem was with the original partition table (and zeroing the first block didn't fix it...).
