The problem is that grub2 would need a driver for the PCMCIA host
controller - that would enable the PCMCIA CF-card to be seen by the
ata driver (AFAIK).
I'm thinking that you have 3 options:
- boy a laptop IDE<->CF adapter and put the CF card to where the
laptop's main hard disk is (install grub2 on the CF)
- use linux+kexec (as already said)
- or wait for somebody to write (or write it yourself) a PCMCIA
subsystem for grub2
