How to boot FC3 from a USB hard disk??

[Antonio Montagnani]

I start a new thread in order to lower noise as the previuos was 
becoming too long.

I performed a installation on an external hard disk (Eide HD in a USB 
enclosure)
Please note that I had to add the noacpi option to linux expert, 
otherwise installation froze.

During installation I decided not to install Grub as my goal is to have 
a system booting Linux when the external HD i sconnected otherwise 
Windows must be started. No choices to the user....and I want to be 
connect to any system (mainly laptops) and use Linux

When I rebooted the system, of course it didn't boot (USB booting is 
available).

I tried to follow instructions at www.simonf.com/usb but I got lost.
When I issued the command
mkinitrd --preload=ehci-hcd --preload=usb-storage --preload=scsi_mod 
--preload=sd_mod /boot/usbinitrd.img 2.6.9-1.667smp

I get the reply that /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667smp is not a directory!!!

Where is my mistake??

And after that as I have no grub.conf to modify, what shall I have to do 
to start Linux???
