Grub/Linux on USB-Stick?

[hadmut]

Hi,

I'm trying to prepare a USB stick with Linux and grub to 
boot from the USB stick.

On the installation machine the USB stick is /dev/sda, so 
I use the grub commands

root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)


Output:

Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.


    GNU GRUB  version 0.94  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word,

   completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> root (hd1,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd1)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"...  15 sectors are
 embedded.
succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+15 p
 (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.



But when booting a PC with  that stick it just prints ...stage2...
and then directly starts the boot block of the built in hard disk
instead of the USB stick.

Can you give me any hint?
