I had those on there because that was what the release notes
recommended.

It did, but the name part (where yous says "U3 Cruzer Micro 21510") just
had the USB vendor/product IDs.  I pulled it, waited a bit, reinserted
it, waited a bit, and it appears to have worked.

However, I can't boot from the resulting USB.  I get:

Trying to boot from USB device ...
Missing operating system

I re-did it without "as-primary swap-size 0", and it appears to have
worked okay that way.
