 Replying to [comment:5 bonefish]:

 partition-less USB stick. According to the syslog the BFS volume is
 detected correctly, BTW:

 Agreeing with bonefish here. I am also having a hard time understanding
 the disk initialization part, were you able to initialize the raw device
 to bfs? Did you then initialize an MBR over the top of that partition?
