grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.

I am in the process of installing the new knoppix to a thumb drive from 
Lenny.  Following the tutorial from 
http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/USB_Based_FAQ

I get as far as installing grub and it bails.

T61:/mnt# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub
T61:/mnt# echo '(hd0) /dev/sda' > /mnt/boot/grub/device.map
T61:/mnt# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --no-floppy '(hd0)'
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your 
device.map.


I don't completely understand what I'm doing here so I also try /dev/sdb 
to see what happens..

T61:/mnt# echo '(hd0) /dev/sdb' > /mnt/boot/grub/device.map
T61:/mnt# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --no-floppy '(hd0)'
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your 
device.map.

/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 374: [: =: unary operator expected
The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.


I googled around a bit, and I can't pin down the same error for what I'm 
doing although there are a few that are fairly close.  I see there has 
been a bug filed against grub already.  http://tinyurl.com/aug67n


Any ideas on how I can proceed with the knoppix installation?
