Argh.  I hate it when I make a fool of myself like this:

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):


For completeness.
