howto configure grub-2 for special purpose? |

since I am quite comfortable using Grub legacy's commandline and
I'd like to experiment a bit with Grub-2, I would like to have
a configuration, where Grub legacy sits in my USB sticks MBR
and has its files in the USB sticks /boot/grub directory.
I would like to have the Grub-2 files in directory /boot/grub2 on
the USB stick. When I fetch grub-1.99~rc2 and do a standard
./configure && make && make install
and then a
./grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true --no-floppy \
--boot-directory /boot/grub2 /dev/sdb
I end up with a directory /boot/grub2/grub filled with Grub-2
files and not in /boot/grub2.
Moreover when I boot into Grub2 via Grub-legacy I end up in
the grub-rescue mode and a "no such partition" error.
prefix=(hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub2/grub
root=hd0,msdos2
despite ls is telling me that there is
(hd9) (hd0,msdos1) ...
Where is my error?
How should I configure Grub-2 to achive my goals?
regards
Bernhard
