Presently I am trying to do the same with grub2. My pendrive is 8 GB Transcend with 2 partitions. /devsda1 is fat32 (2 GB) and /dev/sda2 is reiserfs (6 GB). My system is debian lenny and grub Version: 1.96+20080724-16 I have mounted my pendrive as ( the reiserfs partition) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/pen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then install grub as ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/pen /dev/sda2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grub install reports a success message. Then I copy grub.cfg from my HDD to the pendrive at the same location i.e /mnt/pen/boot/grub/ Now If I try to boot from the pendrive it says found boot record ...OK and then displays GRUB but nothing further happens :-( What might be the wrong I have done here ? Please enlighten me. thanks
