 Actually if you really want to make sure your stick boots in the most
 places, you need to write the image directly at the root, not in a
 partition.  Under Linux, you should probably write to /dev/sde, not
 /dev/sde1.  I don't know how device names are named under OSX.

 Some BIOSes can not boot sticks created by writing to the first
 partition.

 Careful, this makes it harder to recover a clean partition table on the
 USB key if you want one later.
