How to install Grub to MBR of USB drive?
I did a HD install of DSL to my USB, formatted to EXT2, 4GB.
But, when it got to the grub part I don't think it went right.
At boot I get a screen that says "grub >"
What does that mean?
How do I get it to boot, as it seems grub may already be installed.
Code:
# This sets the default entry to boot.
# Remember that GRUB counts from 0, so 1 is the second entry.
default 0
# This sets the length of time in seconds that grub will wait for the user to select an OS
# before it boots the default on. I reccommend at least 15 seconds.
timeout 15
# Enter the entry for DSL here. Something like this.
title DSL

That's the menu.lst OK-so there is no entry there-right?
How do I tell it to boot the USB?
DSL sees the USB as sda1, while my PC sees it as sdf1-does it matter? |
