Hi KS- Thanks for this. I haven't tried it yet, but it's already revealed something. Your paragraph: >> At the point where the installer asks to install GRUB at the MBR, >> choose "No". After this the installer will ask you where to install >> GRUB, choose the USB disk device which was /dev/sdb for me. Install >> GRUB and continue to finish installation. When installation is done, >> Debian will ask you to take the disk out of the tray and reboot. Led me to believe I must have accidentally installed Grub in the MBR on the Mini's drive. Anyway, Christoph Pfisterer's disktype shows a Grub there pointing to a 2nd disk. I also get a Tux w/HD icon when my Linux disk is offline! Also point of clarification: In the above, are you installing Grub to the device /dev/sdb, or to the root partition dev/sdb#? Best!
