Why not? Most El Torito CDs for PCs mount a floppy disk image as a fake
floppy drive for the actual boot process, and in that case, GRUB wouldn't
know the difference, right? It doesn't have to know about the CD-ROM drive
itself, just to boot the kernel off the floppy, and give it the right path
for its root image... right? Or am I all wet?
