Nuff said.
Presumably the OP wanted to boot some other OS off of the USB disk. You are going on about initrd like you ASSUME he is going to boot linux off of a USB.
Say he has Windows on the USB device. Then what? You expect that to boot with linux drivers?
GRUB is a boot loader, a mini operating system all to itself.
Not really. Grub is just a boot loader...although a very fancy bootloader, in that it actually understands multiple filesystems of several different operating systems. It's not even functional enough to be a monitor, let alone an operating system.
It does not relay on Linux. It can boot almost any OS, BUT ONLY if it can read the media.
I see no reason to expect Windows or Solaris to run with Linux drivers found in the initrd.
