It sounds like grub was installed to the usb drive.
I am absolutely sure that the usb drive was unplugged when I installed Opensuse 11.0 two weeks ago. It wasn't even in the same room!
Please boot with a livecd and post /boot/grub/menu.lst. Also, post the result of fdisk -l (run as root or su).
OK, I'll do that. First I'll post /boot/grub/menu.lst and fdisk -l in my current session, later I'll boot with a livecd and post fdisk -l again. I will also post fdisk -l with the usb drive plugged and unplugged. $ sudo cat /boot/grub/menu.lst # Modified by YaST2.
