I have to test the usb- and firewire-installation via grml2hd on my
own. (It's still on my todo-list, also see the testing webpage:
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=testing).

This time I didn't fix initramfs and was told that initramfs should
be able to handle the combination lilo and external usb/firewire on
its own. If that's still broken, it might be the error you get.
Of course, if you have any logs/error messages please feel free to
send them in my direction. :)

Please use grml2usb for the external usb-drive in the meantime, this
should work anyway (because neither initramfs nor lilo is used). Of
course this is not a hd-installation but might work for you in the
meantime.

I'll test grml2hd-on-usb on my own in the next few days and I'm sure
it will work with the final grml 0.8 release. :)

regards,
