Hi Im clutching at straws here, i just purchased an Zonbu (mini pc running Via C7/512 MB ram) and i'm trying to install Debian 4.0 on external USB drive. I've prepped an USB stick with the net install image. Boot's from it and installs debian fine from what i can see When i reboot i see that bios detects the USB-HD properly but instead of showing the kernel to boot it shows only the "Mininmal BASH like" version of grub and no selection box. I tried to reinstall this time manually making the partitions on the USB-HD
sda1 /boot (ext2) 100 MB bootable sda2 / (ext3) 20 GB sda3 /swap Same issue again. tried it a couple of more times and once i got "Error 18" in GRUB I'm at a loss as what can be wrong. I tried to search the net but can't find information that help me out here. So if anyone have any suggestions or any experience installing Debian on "Zonbu" i would be really greatful Thanks Mikael
