Here's what I've been doing:
1. Start GParted; authenticate (i.e., run with root permissions);
2. Choose "Something Else" so that I can do the next two steps;
3. Set the target as /dev/sdb1 (the first ext4 partition in my USB-connected
hard drive)
4. Set the device for boot loader installation as /dev/sdb.
5. Install ... followed by the "no defined root file system" refrain.
marioxcc seems to be echoing the recommendation: "correct this from the
partitioning menu" but the real problem seems to be the lack of a master boot
record, and I've already found that grub-install isn't happy without support
from Windows.
Isn't there an open-source master boot record available for the GNU/linux
operating systems ?
