Hi group,

  Is there a way of getting a list of the devices that grub sees that 
can be
boot device??

  In other word:  root (hd?,?)

  What grub command do I use to get a list?

  I am trying to build a configuation that will allow me to boot from a USB
device on a machine that does not "usb boot" in the BIOS.

I'd use a tab completion feature.
Tha means, that you when you press <tab> while typing the name of the
disk, you are provided with list of possibilities. lik "root (hd<tab>: and
so on

Please post questions about GRUB on bug-grub.  This list is about the
development of GRUB 2.  It's another version than you are using, and
it's a list about development.
