Gang:

I'm finally ready to install the live CD image on my USB stick as  
mentioned here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestPlans/ 
Fedora10_On_XO#Installing_your_SD_card

but it complains that the partition is not marked as boot.

The media check is complete, the result is: PASS.

It is OK to use this media.
Partition isn't marked bootable!
You can mark the partition as bootable with
     # /sbin/parted /dev/sdb
     (parted) toggle N boot
     (parted) quit
Cleaning up to exit...

However, I can't seem to get it to work:

Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print
Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/sdb1: 4071MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: loop

Number  Start  End     Size    File system  Flags
  1      0.00B  4071MB  4071MB  fat32

(parted) toggle 1 boot
Error: The flag 'boot' is not available for loop disk labels.
(parted) quit

Clues?
