GRUB & LILO install failures unexplained - no help.
Well that makes perfect sense. GRUB and LILO boot loaders designed
to work with a hard drive. You (probably) need to install a
different boot loader on a USB stick - and which one is dependent on
what your BIOS supports (and, of course, you have to set your BIOS
appropriately).
Booting from a CD/DVD follows a different process - using isolinux
as the boot loader.
GRUB will work on a USB stick. I have Debian installed on a USB stick
right now and it uses GRUB.
