Why can't it boot under usb-zip? Thanks! - China DOS Union Forum

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?

I have already formatted it with usb - zip for this problem

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

……

It's a pity that no one can help!!!

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.
