Booting from same USB drive on multiple computers

I would like to use a single USB drive to boot on multiple computers (i.e. I can unplug it and plug it into another computer, and it should work fine).

Right now I have two computers, one with no hard disk (it's an Intel D945GCLF actually) and one with a hard disk as usual. I have set up grub to boot fine from the harddisk-less computer (and that's what I do my work on) but the USB drive cannot boot on the other computer. Grub says it's loading stage 1.5 and then error 2 comes out. I think it's because grub is configured to run from (hd0,0) but, in my other computer, my USB disk is (hd1,0). Does anyone have any ideas, and has anyone successfully used this setup before?

Thanks.
