just does not seem to be able to find the USB drives. e.g. commands like root (hd0,0) just says device not found. This is despite grub
hd0,0 represents the bios device id, are you sure thats what your bios thinks the usb disk is at ?
I can't be sure which is part of the problem. Because when I read the grub documentation, it said that hitting tab at the prompt after typing the command will produce a list of possible devices/drives. However, in my case, nothing happens which seemingly implies grub could not find any device.
I also did try manually doing (hd0,1), (hd1,0) but none of it seemed to be a "findable" device. For what it's worth, the installer did see them as sda and sdb. I also disabled the onboard SATA controller during my attempts in order to eliminate it from showing up as a possible device, since grub doc says the (hdx,x) number usually matches the order in which the devices were discovered.
