There is a problem with grub loading menu.lst under the USB flash drive - China DOS Union Forum

Today I spent the whole day on gurb... Mainly wanted to make a bootable USB drive. My USB drive is 1G. So I used FlashBoot to make it in zip format. Used the built-in freedos (tried extracting from the built-in 98.img, but my motherboard can't boot). The USB drive is recognized as a floppy disk.

Then got everything ready... grub and corresponding files are in the dostools directory on the USB drive... Edited menu.lst... When I restarted and booted from the USB drive, ran start.bat (content is grub --config-file=(fd0,0)/menu.lst) but couldn't load the configuration file... Flashed several lines of help information and then returned to the command line...郁闷啊``Manually used the configfile command and it didn't work either``Please各位big guys help me find the reason ah```I'm just starting to learn grub```I don't understand many things ah```The version of grub is 0.97```Replaced with grub.exe from grub4dos 0.43 still didn't work```

==================================

This is my menu.lst

# Set the graphic background file

grub4dos 0.43 supports USB-ZIP boot for USB drives, but other versions don't. You should change all (fd0,0) in your configuration file to (fd0)....

Sure enough, it was a path issue... After changing it to (fd0), the problem was solved... Thanks...

Use a relative path if possible, without using an absolute path. find --set-root /(feature file) Can automatically set the partition where the feature file is located as the root partition.
