This was implemented as part of last summer's GSoC. We expect to merge it soon in GRUB 2.

Mr. this function is available for a 'long' time. ;-)

You can check Gandalf's atapi patch for Grub 0.95.

Hello,

It would be very useful if the GRUB user could select a bootable CD as a boot option. As I can ascertain from the grub documentation, a (cd) drive is available if GRUB was booted from a CD. But it appears that this same functionality (the (cd) drive) is not available if GRUB was booted from a hard disk.

This feature could specifically be used by the user to launch windows/linux/etc operating system installers from their respective bootable CDs from GRUB rather than configuring their BIOS to boot from CD. Combined with the map or hide commands, this could even be used to prevent the windows installer from overwritting the MBR and GRUB. I think this feature would be very useful and important to the maturity and robustness of the "grand unified bootloader."

Thank you for your consideration.
