installing on usb problems

ok heres the thing , i have installed slitaz on the second partition of my usb drive , but when i go to boot it gives me an error , but after figuring out that i got another road block. but now i got another problem , but i cant

heres my menu.lst , in the /mnt/target/boot/grub/ directory of the usb dive

title     SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz)

        root (hd0,1)

        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/sda2 vga=normal rootdelay=10

the file was copied from where the instillation thing said the file was , and i added the rootdelay like i was supposed to , but what do i still need to fix
