Read the section titled "Copying the files - the more flexible way" at
the url you mentioned above. That will allow a larger partition to be
used, thus taking full advantage of your larger usb key.
The part you're missing is syslinux. It is (normally) used in place of
lilo... the above url has instructions for using it.
