grub2 won't install on an HD (one newer pc yes, 2 others no)

so to fix things I need a rescue floppy (i guess)

grub-rescue doesn't work without "xorisso" (i don't mkisofs scripts anymore, no CD drive thanks)

grub-mkrescue needs xorriso. You can't use it without.
I want grub2 on floopy. where are debian's instructions or FAQ for it please?

grub-mkrescue images can be dd'ed to floppy when small enough (--compression=xz --diet AFAIR)
