using grub to install mbr on other hard drive.



hey.

i'm building a debian disk image as a linux based 802.11b access point
(using jouni malinen's host ap mode drivers).  basically at this point it
works but i'm trying to convert from lilo to grub because as i become
familiar with it i like it a lot better.

this image will be batch loaded onto fujitsu stylistic 1000's (which have
a type 3 pcmcia hard drive).  so the basic procedure will be:

 * put pcmcia drive in laptop (shows up as /dev/hde)
 * cfdisk /dev/hde
 * mke2fs /dev/hde1
 * mount /dev/hde1 /mnt
 * tar Ixvf image.tar.bz2 /mnt
 * install mbr onto drive so it's bootable

and here's where i get stuck.  i can make it work with lilo but i can't
figure out how to do it with grub.  can anyone point me in the right
direction please?

thanks,
adam.
