That was an operator error. I ran fdisk /dev/sdd1 rather than fdisk /dev/sdd
Here is the corrected version. This is on a 1GB USB flash drive.
[root at shuksan murray]# fdisk /dev/sdd
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdd: 999 MB, 999555072 bytes
31 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1015 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1922 * 512 = 984064 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 * 1 1015 975384 b W95 FAT32
Command (m for help):
