I didn't find this thread.

Under Fedora-11, the USB stick is /dev/sdc ,
with the Fedora-12 partition at /dev/sdc2 .

However, when I ran grub interactively, and set

grub> root (hd2,1)

it said that that disk did not exist.
I tried hd0 to hd6 but it only found
my 2 SCSI disks at hd0 and hd1 .

It seems that grub does not necessarily see a USB disk,
even if Fedora can see it.

I should say that this is only an experiment.
I could perfectly well install from hard disk (and probably will)
or (possibly) with PXEboot.
