My GRUB boot USB drive can boot in USB-HDD mode, but when booting in USB-ZIP mode, it freezes at the GRUB prompt. My motherboard supports USB-ZIP mode boot.

May I ask experts what the reason is? Thanks!

There's no need to add (fd0) all the time.

I'm afraid it's still not well supported.

usb-zip/usb-hdd are two different formatting modes. Can they be used together?

My USB flash drive is in this format and has GRUB boot added. But it first reads MENU.LST, enters the menu, and then enters DOS, reading config and autoexec.

menu.lst:

default 0
timeout 10
color light-gray/blue white/blue
fontfile (fd0)/fonts

title Boot USB Flash Drive WinPE (by tianfeng)
#ind --set-root /tianfeng.ldr
chainloader /tianfeng.ldr

title Boot mdos71dm Floppy Image
#ind --set-root /boot/mdos71dm.img
map --mem /boot/mdos71dm.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1

title Boot qboot Floppy Image
#ind --set-root /boot/qboot.img
map --mem /boot/qboot.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1

title Boot Hard Disk Windows XP
find --set-root /NTLDR
chainloader /NTLDR

title Boot USB Flash Drive DOS/Win98
#ind --set-root /io.sys
chainloader /io.sys

title Mini Win98 by tianfeng
kernel /boot/memdisk.gz
initrd /boot/98.zip

title Enter D Drive Windows 98
find --set-root /io.sys
chainloader /io.sys

You first booted DOS?? Then GRUB??? It should be the other way around.

This also doesn't work. I think it's still a motherboard issue.
