Re: Installing CentOS 6.2 *TO* a USB drive, not installing from USB.

Usuially, I simply use the default config for about everything; it worked
well every time...

I don't remember every detail... sorry for that

That is pretty much what I did. Boot DVD 1 with a USB DVD drive, install to
/dev/sda which is the USB flash drive. When the installation requests a
reboot, shutdown, remove as well as leave the DVD drive around and reboot...
and only grub prompt or Error 21.

Maybe there's a minor but critical step I'm missing so I'll appreciate it if
you could outline in greater details how you did it.

I've tried installing grub to both MBR i.e. /dev/sda as well as first
partition /dev/sda1 but neither works.
