OK, e.g.

. --emulation=TYPE        select El Torito boot emulation type floppy
.                         or none (default) (cdrom only)


Or with the help syntax used by the grub binaries:

. --emulation=(floppy|none) select El Torito boot emulation type (cdrom 
only)
.                           [default=none]
