Assuming I'm reading you correctly, the above script writes the OS
content directly to USB stick, I didn't dump to it from a disk image
file.

You're right (sdb1 has "EFI System"):
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 3.7 GiB, 4004511744 bytes, 7821312 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: C6CEC927-FA8F-4958-A223-A7BCE283241E
Device Start End Size Type
/dev/sdb1 2048 1046527 510M EFI System
/dev/sdb2 1048576 7819263 3.2G unknown
I'll do a redump of /dev/sdb as below:
$ sudo dd bs=1k if=/dev/sdb of=fed-min.iso conv=sparse
Thanks for pointing that out.
