diskload install?

[Eric Persson]

Hi,

I have an old laptop which i've been trying to install debian onto, but 
since it neither has cd or floppy or the ability to boot from 
usbdevices, i figured i could take out the harddrive and put it onto a 
usb-ide adapter and load it through my other computer.

It worked well until I get to the bootloaderpart i guess, I downloaded 
the baseparts and copied the files to the disk after making a ext3 
system, but when trying to put grub on it, it seems to work, but grub 
doesnt turn up when I remount it back into the laptop and tries to boot.
Any hints on where to start searching or have anyone else did something 
similar?

Thanks,
 Eric
