Hi!
I installed GRUB on USB stick using this description:
http://blog.torh.net/2007/08/19/creating-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive/
And readed out some similar how tos and checked GRUB manual.
It seems that all should be fine, but upon start I get (depending on BIOS) blank screen or pause before MBR is loaded from HD.
So it seems, that BIOS supports USB booting, but it looks like on USB is something wrong?
Am I right in this conclusion?
What other could be wrong?
How to check?
File list on my USB:
/media/disk/boot/grub
/media/disk/boot/grub/default
/media/disk/boot/grub/device.map
/media/disk/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5
/media/disk/boot/grub/fat_stage1_5
/media/disk/boot/grub/installed-version
/media/disk/boot/grub/jfs_stage1_5
/media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
/media/disk/boot/grub/minix_stage1_5
/media/disk/boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5
/media/disk/boot/grub/stage1
/media/disk/boot/grub/stage2
/media/disk/boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5
/media/disk/boot/memtest86+.bin
brgds and thanks in advance,
Janeks
