Working with an older computer I was wondering if I could use grub to
start an disk drive connected to usb. My bios does not give me the
possibility to use usb as startup disk. I am running 10.3 on that
machine.
I started to ask this question by mistake on the off topick list and got
following answers:
---You need the scsi and usb modules in the boot image.
---You'll have to hand-build, so to speak, a boot-up vmlinuz.gz file
Can somebody help me further?

You should be bale to boot off of that USB drive, but your MBR (Master
Boot Record) will have to reside on a drive your BIOS can read (IDE 0,
most likely).
