Multiboot from USB key with Grub?
I'm new to linux and one of the first things I'm attempting is to multi boot from a USB flash key using Grub.
I have partitioned the usb key, using fdisk, into two partions, the first contains grub, the second is home to a copy of FreeDos.
After I boot, the grub menu loads and I select the FreeDos item, I then get the message
"Starting up ...
This is not a bootbale disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again ..."
And this is where I'm stuck and as I don't really know what I'm doing, I could use some pointers! I'm reluctant to try anything else because if I can't get it to happily boot freedos then I'll scrap the idea.
Below is the output from fdisk, menu.lst, grub.conf and device.map, any help will be greatly appreciated!
