Erm, every USB thumb drive, SD card, or CF card I've used has had a
partition table. Memories of mounting the things under Windows are
too distant to be useful, but OS X not only expects a partition
table, I don't think it can 'prepare' a USB disk without one. Linux
automounters expect a partition table too, whether the kernel-based
automounter or whatever Gnome uses.
Am I off target by a country mile here?
