Is there something messed up with the partition type?
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 4043 MB, 4043309056 bytes
136 heads, 25 sectors/track, 2322 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3400 * 512 = 1740800 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1

I have a 1TB external USB-HD and would like to have debian rescue as boot
partition and the rest as ext3 partition.
I can't boot from the USB-HD. I tried the same image with my 4GB USB FlashStick
and it worked.
Can anyone give me a hint how to get the usb-hd booting?
cheers Kai
