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...

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]:
