hi,
I want to install grub on my flash drive,
I did
/sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdb: 2006 MB, 2006974464 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 7656 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 1023 261872 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 1024 7656 1698048 b W95 FAT32
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /sbin/grub

No matter how I layout the partitions in the drive, this error pops up.
Any pointers would be helpful.
