Live USB creation fails

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I’m trying to make a bootable USB from the Suse 11.1 Live .iso using the “SuSE install from USB drive” article at SuSE install from USB drive - openSUSE

When I invoke “./mksusebootdisk --32 --partition /dev/sdb1 /mnt/dvd” as the article says, it returns an error that “/mp does not exist” or sometimes “not a FAT file system”. From that point, whatever I do, such as fixing the file system as per the article, produces a USB stick that does not boot on any of three computers, but displays “GRUB” on a black screen and locks up.

Has anybody been able to make this method work?

Thanks.
