Details:

Hello,

I'm trying to install GRUB 2 on a floppy disk, like explained here :
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html
  
     # mke2fs /dev/fd0
     # mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt
     # grub-install --root-directory=/mnt fd0
     # umount /mnt


And I get this error :
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/fd0.  Check your
device.map.

Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed.
Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly.


If I specify the module with --modules=ext2 I got this error :
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/fd0.  Check your
device.map.


Version GRUB 1.97 beta 4
