Problem booting Slackware 11 on a usb disk

[Chris Lemire]

I have installed Backtrack 2 to a usb drive. I ran the bootinst.sh script as root. My computer won't boot it. I set my bios settings to try booting usb-fdd, usb-cdrom, and usb-zip before trying to boot the hard drive. I also tried choosing those different types of usb devices from the boot menu screen. However when I try to boot it in VMware, that works. I've got BT2 to work from the usb drive before, so I do not understand why it is not working now. I've also tried Travis M.'s suggestion of using grub-install. With grub-install, BT2 would boot in VMware, but not from my computer. I was able to boot from usb with no problems before. I've tried all possible ways to boot usb in my bios, and my bios is flashed with the newest version of firmware.
