Curious... based on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo I ran:

sudo qemu -hda /dev/sdb -m 256 -std-vga

and that emulated a booting system that DID work with the thumb drive. I note that the thumb drive appeared in QEMU as:

ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (1953 MBytes)

Could it be that the problem is that my (real) system is treating the thumb drive as "USB RMD-FDD" (is that ReMovable Device - Floppy Disk Drive?)
