I've been using LILO for over 15 years, but I'm a total newbie at
GRUB2, so the following may be totally out to lunch.  Would the following
setup work for a USB key with multiple partitions with a different OS or
variant in each partition?

GRUB2 in MBR
* extended partition 1 covers entire USB key
* logical partition 5, ext2fs, 1 megabyte, containing directory /boot/grub
  containing file menu.lst
* logical partition 6, ext2fs, containing an OS
* logical partition 7, ext2fs, containing an OS
* etc, etc

  Assuming that the key shows up as /dev/sdb, would the entries in
menu.lst for partions 6 and 7 be (hd1,5) and (hd1,6), respectively?  And
what would be the command to install GRUB2 to the MBR of the USB key?
