Details:

grub-install --root-directory=/media/usb0 /dev/sdb

The drive is 8% full, its fairly large.  I might be using the software
wrong.

It asks me if I want to --force blocklists but I don't know what those are
and I can't imagine that would be necessary.  I was thinking about wandering
through the source code to figure out what the issue is, but I want to make
sure its not me doing something stupid first.  No matter how many times I've
installed boot loaders, I still have to look up a dozen FAQs to remember how.
