Just read VU+ MultiBoot. You can translate the page also with Google Translator in your language, here for DE->EN
As you can see at the thread, multiboot is using primary the flash, not from usb or hdd. USB/HDD can used for recording, backups or whatever you want.

I can not help with "Does not working/booting". Please write exactly what you have do. How do you flashing (USB with FAT, directory, files), which messages at the OLED while flashing and so on.

1. I have uzip the flash file to USB formatted as FAT32.
2. Connected to usb port rear of my VU Duo 4k.
3. Switch on receiver en push on/off button on front my receiver.
4. Upgrade started correct en flashed correct.
5. When I got message that the receiver will be rebooted after few seconds I have removed USB.
6. After reboot receiver stay for few minutes in reboot mode and nothing was changed on the screen.

I have repeat this procedure with USB in front and with zip file for multi. The result was same.

After that I got some problems with flashing BlackHole 3.0.9. With OpenPli went wel.

The OLED must show some messages about flashing ALL 4 Parts, 4x root and 4x kernel. If any missing, you have not read the Multiboot thread. The USB must contain at the first flash 4 images, can also the same but all 4 must exist at first flash because the partitions are not correct created. Thats 14 files...

Again (from google translator, small manual translation changes) from the thread:
New USB stick files for MultiBoot, flash all partitions at the same time, even with different images
- kernel1_auto.bin -> new kernel for MultiBoot
- kernel2_auto.bin -> like 1 (also use the neutrino kernel for E2 and not the one supplied by E2, otherwise the boot process hangs!)
- kernel3_auto.bin -> like 1 (also use the neutrino kernel for E2 and not the one supplied by E2, otherwise the boot process hangs!)
- kernel4_auto.bin -> like 1 (also use the neutrino kernel for E2 and not the one supplied by E2, otherwise the boot process hangs!)
- rootfs1.tar.bz2 -> Root request image 1
- rootfs2.tar.bz2 -> Root request image 2
- rootfs3.tar.bz2 -> Root request image 3
- rootfs4.tar.bz2 -> Root request image 4
- initrd_auto.bin -> the new one for "MultiBoot"
- splash_auto.bin -> optional, own picture
- reboot.update -> (0 byte dummy) - optional, automatic restart after update, not available for VU + ZERO 4K and VU + UNO 4K
- mkpart.update -> (0 byte dummy) - so that the new partitions are created
- rootfs.tar.bz2 -> (0 byte dummy) - for flashing
- kernel_auto.bin -> (0 byte dummy) - for flashing
- force.update -> (0 byte dummy) - Start the update directly from the USB stick, only required for VU + ZERO 4K and VU + UNO 4K as there is no power button

Important
When switching to Multiboot for the first time, ALL partitions must be flashed with an image, means all 4 rootfsX.tar.bz2 and kernelX_auto.bin must be exist.
Only then is it possible to flash the individual partitions.
