livcecd-iso-to-disk: USB key do not boot (BIOS setup is fine)

Hello,

I'm trying to build a USB bootable key with file 'Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso'

Command is :
sudo livecd-iso-to disk Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso /dev/sdd1

which runs fine, boot loader included, and reports that USB key is
ready for use ... however the key is not ignored during boot (the sequence
continue correctly with following drive in the BIOS boot order).

I'm using an Asus eee pc (model 900) which is correctly configured to boot via
USB key as I tried it with a Debian bootable USB key which boots fine.
I also tried another .iso, (precisely the EEdora dedicated to Asus eee) but
got same problem.

fdisk -l /dev/sdd

Disk /dev/sdd: 1030 MB, 1030750208 bytes
32 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1014 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1984 * 512 = 1015808 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb0bcd68e

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 * 1 1014 1005857 6 FAT16

which looks correct.
So opparently the problem come from livecd command whatever final report OK.
Is there some knwon problem with livecd-iso-to-disk ? I'm using Fedora-9.
Or can I build a USB key using another as a workaround ?

Many thanks for attention and any clue.

Bye,
Bruno
