Thanks, good points. I did install syslinux and I installed an MBR with
install-mbr but either I botched something with the syslinux install or
syslinux really needs the syslinux MBR. Second time I made sure I
installed syslinux on the FAT partition and the bundled syslinux MBR in
the stick MBR and managed to boot.

So, looks like Debian Live with persistence really likes to mount and/or
fsck any partitions it finds. Crazy.

GRML also worked, much the same as Debian with persistence. Video card
still refuses to work. Oh well, no rush to upgrade to Bullseye.
