PART B: Correcting your fob's partition ID
it sets the partition ID of the partition it creates to HEX code 'e', which
means "W95 FAT16 LBA"; this doesn't work on many machines because the BIOS
expects HEX code '6' ("FAT16"), like for instance, all three of my machines.
The goal of this part is to change the partition ID.

You can change the partition ID with sfdisk:
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/sfdisk.8.html
-c or --id number [Id]
If no Id argument given: print the partition Id of the indicated partition. If
an Id argument is present: change the type (Id) of the indicated partition to
the given value. This option has the two very long forms --print-id and
--change-id. For example:
% sfdisk --print-id /dev/hdb 5
6
% sfdisk --change-id /dev/hdb 5 83
OK
first reports that /dev/hdb5 has Id 6, and then changes that into 83.
