I came up with a workaround to this problem where the cd install stops at the grub prompt when using an external drive: 1. Download and burn the install cd as usual. Place the install cd back in the drive of the machine you used to burn it. Place a USB flash drive in the same system.

Copy the /platform/ directory from the installation CD to the thumb drive. Eject/unmount both the cd and flash drive. Place both the install CD and flash drive into your target (e.g. Machine you want to install to) machine. Boot to *CD* as usual, wait for the install to halt at the 'grub>Rawlinsons Australian Construction Handbook 2013 Free. ' prompt. Determine the hd number for your thumb drive in grub.

In 9 out of 10 cases this will be the number of hard drives in your system (count starts at 0, + 1 for each drive, + 1 for the flash drive). Remember this number for the next step. Type the following command at the grub prompt, this will differ depending on how many drives are in your system.

So for a system with one hard drive: root (hd1,0) 10. Now run the following two commands, if you get errors here try going back to step 8, probably your hd number is wrong. If all else fails you can start guessing which hd number to use at step 9: kernel$ /platform/ i86pc/kernel/ unix -B atapi-cd- dma-enabled= 0 module$ /platform/ i86pc/miniroot 11. Wait for the 'grub>' prompt to return, this will take a few min time as reading from flash drives in grub is a bit slow, just let it finish.

When it completes run this command to start the installation: boot.
