hd0 refers to disk accessible via BIOS. USB mass storage accessible
directly using USB drivers would be name usb0 (or whatever running
number). Command "nativedisk" attempts to find and replace new device
names in $root and $prefix.

Not sure I understand what you mean. You can replace drivers online
using "nativedisk" command or you can even install GRUB using
grub-install --disk-module=native.
