The issues you saw with grub being installed on the USB stick instead of
the HDD are a bigger concern in my book. I wonder if you you have better luck installing GRUB on the HDD MBR, booting from the HDD and using grub to load the kernel and initrd off the USB stick.
What you have to do is tell it no bootloader, then before you reboot at the end of the install, use <f-2> or whatever to get to another screen, then... lessee, I forget if it's mounted the install as /mnt/sysimage or not, but mount your /boot on the h/d, chroot, edit /boot/grub/device map so it shows HD 0,0, and then grub-install /dev/sdb (or whatever). Then when you reboot, you should be ok; if not, linux rescue, and do all that.
mark, who wishes upstream would *offer* the option of other than /dev/sda or track 1 of this drive....

No need for all that. Just use "Advanced bootloader options" for GRUB and change the device order so the target boot device shows up at the top of the list.

P.S. Something with your mail client is breaking threading for mine (Thunderbird).

In a standard install? I'll look, but don't remember that option.
