Looks like you're using the M-Systems drivers, not the real ones. To load 
Grub onto the device, you need to be able to write to the flash directly, 
which you can't do with those drivers.

You need to either boot a kernel with the proper drivers in, or convert 
your Grub image into the format that M-Systems use for their own firmware 
files.
