Fred,

The contents of /boot/grub/device.map are used by grub-install to
determine which target drives are available. Most of the time it
contains only:

(hd0)	/dev/sda

That's a tab between the two elements. If you add a second line
containing the info for your removable hard drive:

(hd2)	/dev/sdc

then you should be able to run

# grub-install [other_options] '(hd2)'
