Details:

Booting a GRUB CD on an internal IDE drive works fine.

(using (cd) as the setup and root device)



When booting from a USB drive, it merrily reports "loading Stage 2" , then
dumps me at the "Grub>" prompt.



setup(<tab> gives me;

Possible disks are: hd0 cd



but;

setup (cd)



gives me;

Error 21: selected disk does not exist



Something lies!



Anyone any ideas?
