Thank you for trying to solve this - but as far
as i am concerned this does not help yet. (Or
perhaps i got it wrong?)
Isnt there a possibility of booting a cdrom like
you would boot a floppy (chainloader (fd0)+1)?
The thing is - i wanted to install an old win98
(do not ask why ;) ) onto (hd0,3) so grub seemed 
the way to go - remap partitions and boot the
cdrom.

What are cdroms called under grub?

what is this "hard disk emulation"?

i got "some" error-msg containing "cdrom" when 
installing grub - might that be the prob.

im sorry to bother you with some perhaps easy-to-
answer questions, but i have been reading some 
howtos and the like - without ever finding a hint
on how to achieve this.

thank you
