Mount the "USB" HDD somewhere useful, run debootstrap on the mount point, then use whatever grub's equivalent to LILO's -r option is to write the boot sector. Have you considered trying to get a bootable USB stick to store a basic rescue system or netinst image and installing off that? It'll need to be a newish laptop and a reasonably-sized USB stick, but it's a cute option for when you don't have the traditional media options available. - Matt
