I did a grub> find/platform/i86pc/multiboot, and it returned (hd0,0,a), as I 
had expected.

But, nevertheless, I added (hd0,0,a) to the two grub boot lines (for both 
kernel$ and module$). Same results.  Grub still won't boot from the USB flash 
stick.  I suspect the USB driver may be lacking during stage 2.

Yes, I remember having a similar "won't boot from USB disk" problem with SuSE 
10.3.
