Ask: Can GRUB run the menu on the CD - ROM? - China DOS Union Forum

I've been lurking on the forum for a long time, learned some knowledge about GRUB, and made a bootable disk with good compatibility using GRUB. I want to integrate some common tools. I have a tool disk with a nice menu and useful tools, but I just don't know how to run the menu on the CD onto the USB bootable disk. I hope someone who knows can give an answer, thanks. Also, some 2.0 motherboards are too slow when using the boot tool, I don't know what the problem is, some are very fast.

Sure, there are relevant posts in the forum.

I can't be found. Can the two people upstairs introduce how it is achieved? Thank you.

For U disk? For CD? Which one exactly is needed?

I want to port the menu on the CD to the USB flash drive for use, not sure if it can be realized.

Please provide the content of the menu.lst on the CD so that I can post a segment of it.

The following is part of menu.lst on my USB flash drive. For reference.

title Shutdown
halt

On the USB drive, see if it is recognized as FDO or (hd0,0) when you boot.

My USB flash drive is recognized as a hard drive, (HD0,0), because only in this way is the compatibility a bit better. Actually, my requirement is very simple. There are some relatively good software on some CDs, such as PC3000 or the fault repair station, etc. It calls the file like CTRL.BIN. I can't copy this file and that folder directly. I don't know if I still need to make some modifications. Please give more advice.

Change (fd0) to (HD0,0) entirely. To boot the operating system on the hard drive from the USB flash drive, you need to make a change because your hard drive has become HD1.

Is your menu.lst that precious? Can't you bear to take it out and have a look?
It can also use find --set-root, so that the relative path can be used to solve the problem.

This is my menu.lst. Actually, it's not that I don't want to post it, but I still want to perfect it. Since that's the case, I'll post it first.

What I mean is that just post a part including the unusable parts. I haven't used the console, but ctrl.bin is probably not able to run independently. Have you arranged the things it calls according to the CD-ROM path? Where can I download it? If there is a download, I can also download it to learn.
