Hello,

Thanks for the answer, I have tried that workarround on Grub v 1.98+20100804 but no luck still the same problem.
And I don't understand what's the grub.info file you are talking about.

Such buggy BIOSes require a separate kind of install that I explained a long time ago in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-09/msg00488.html and recently added to grub.info

Hello,

I tring to making a boot Linux USB stick with GRUB2, but at start the computer say it can't boot : thats not a floppy boot disk and im using USB-FDD in the Bios options.

If i start the stick with Qemu it works fine, no problem too with syslinux i can boot with the USB-FDD option on a USB stick but i would like to use Grub2.
