To whom it may concern: I have tried and failed to manually install a grub bootloader onto an external hard drive. So here is the output from the `/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map="/media/EHD/boot/grub/device.map" --target=fs -v /media/EHD/boot/grub` command as requested:

Check your device.map. I hope this is of use in resolving this situation.
