Thanks for advice, I will try ramdisk also.

Today I tried pre-loading of all necessary USB modules followed by
loading of ehci module. It works with some exceptions - I cannot issue
some commands like e.g. "ls" after loading ehci module.
It is probably because such commands lists or try access to all disks -
and GRUB freezes when it tries to access BIOS boot disk (even if I have
correctly set new values in root, prefix and locale_dir to USB disk
newly created by USB modules).

I tried to do "rmmod biosdisk" - it helps, GRUB does not freeze with
"ls" command after that. But GRUB looks little bit unstable since then -
it does sometimes something wrong...

But, generally, it works. It is fine that I found there exists some
way(s) how to solve booting from USB devices together with use of GRUB
USB driver when it will be necessary - that is all what I wanted to
know.
