I've created a USB installer for 18.04.1 server using Etcher on a Mac. I'm trying install Ubuntu to another USB drive. The installer goes well with no errors, and I choose "full disk" to install to my 32GB USB drive. But when I try to boot to this new drive, it doesn't work. The PC just says "non-system disk or disk error".
I put the drive in another system (CentOS in VirtualBox) and it appears to not have grub installed:
file -s /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: x86 boot sector: partition 1: ID=0xee, starthead 0, startsector 1, 60063743 sectors, extended partition table (last)\011, code offset 0x63
I try to install grub:
grub2-install /deb/sdb
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
After this, file -s shows the same thing and it still won't boot. Any ideas what's wrong here?
