Maybe a bug on grub 0.97, but I'm not sure.

Hi, I'm Cristiano Macaluso, I've written a procedure on how to put grub on
a usb-stick, Archlinux start, instead Windows doesn't works (grub goes on
minimal shell).
I'm writing my procedure:

cfdisk /dev/sda  (choice Bootable, Tye --> 0E  W95FAT16 LBA) , write the
modify
Pull out the usb-stick and insert on pc
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
Pull out the usb-stick and insert on pc
grub
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)
quit

mkdir /mnt/usb
cd /mnt/
mount -t vfat /dev/sda usb/
mkdir -p /mnt/usb/boot/grub
cp -f /boot/grub/* /mnt/usb/boot/grub

device.map will have these rows:
(fd0)   /dev/fd0
(hd0)   /dev/hda
(hd1)   /dev/sda


menu.lst will have these rows:
timeout   5
default   0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue

title ArchLinux
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda2
initrd /boot/initrd26.img

title WinXP
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1



When I reboot the pc with usb-stick insered I can run Linux but not
WindowsXP because grub goes to a mini shell, and I can only reboot.

At normal conditions, without usb-stick, grub works perfectly on my Arch.
On my menu.lst in ArchLinux I have:

title ArchLinux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda2
initrd /boot/initrd26.img

title WinXP
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
