Because the way El-Torito works to make cds bootable is essentially to map a certain part of the cd to one of the usual bios devices (floppy, hard disk) you would simply boot from a floppy in most cases. So you would use root(fd0). With my DC2976UW (I hope I got the numbers right, it's a Dawicontrol UW-SCSI controller) I use the following entry which also boots from floppy: # entry for first floppy title Diskette in floppy0 # the following 3 lines correspond to my setup and can be omitted lock hide (hd0,1) unhide (hd0,0) pause Please insert floppy disk in drive 0 now^G! root (fd0) chainloader +1 As for no-emulation mode I think the hostadapter bios would prevent grub from being booted at all, but I never encountered such media.
