You need to install grub on your USB drive. See the instructions in the
grub option help text, also visible at:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/boot/grub/Config.in#n8
The instructions are done on a disk image, but it can be done directly
on a real drive in a similar way.
Best regards,
Thomas
