Thanks Mike & ~thc for solutions. I unplugged the only hard drive from the system I am using to install DSL to my USB thumbdrive. Booted from the CD, did the frugal-grub install to sda1. Mounted that partition, edited /boot/grub/device.map so it contained only:
(hd0) /dev/sda
Then installed grub again.
| Code Sample | # grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt/sda1 Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
(hd0) /dev/sda |
Booted from the thumbdrive, and lo and behold, grub worked!
The system began uncompressing the kernel, the DSL splash screen went by, and things were whizzing along nicely...
UNTIL...
| Code Sample | Scanning for USB devices... Done. Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell. Press reset button to quit.
Additional builtin commands avaliable[sic]: cat mount umount insmod rmmod lsmod
