Booting CDs with GRUB

[John McCarthy]

Hi,

Is it possible to use GRUB to boot a Standard PC (El Torito) bootable CDROM?

I find myself needing boot floppies for every bootable CDROM I have to allow 
booting the CDROM

on systems without BIOS CDROM-boot support.  I'm trying to find a way to have 
one floppy that can

boot any El Torito CDROM for these systems.  Is this possible?  (I'm beginning 
to doubt it)

I know I can create an El Torito image with GRUB to make my own bootable 
CDROM--this

is not what I need.  I'd like one floppy that can boot 
BBC/Mandrake/Debian/Redhat/etc CDROMs

so I don't have to create a separate boot floppy for each distro version I'd 
like to boot on

a system without BIOS CDROM-boot support.

I checked the FAQ and the recent bug-grub archives to no avail.

Cheers,

John McCarthy.
