This is from the grub mailing list. I don't know if it works but I 've used smb myself and booted from cd drives that were not supported. You can give it a try. <BR>
<A HREF="http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/">http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/</A><BR>
<BR>
<I>It is possible to get grub to boot SBM from a file using erm, is it</I><BR>
<I>memlinux? which will then boot a CD - works fine on my grub rescue</I><BR>
<I>floppy.</I><BR>
<I></I><BR>
<I>Briefly - get smbinst, and make an smbfloppy.</I><BR>
<I></I><BR>
<I>dd if=/dev/floppy of=sbm.img bs=1k count=18</I><BR>
<I></I><BR>
<I>(thats for version 3.71 - newer releases may take more space)</I><BR>
<I></I><BR>
<I>get memdisk from the syslinux package and put it in your boot directory</I><BR>
<I>with the sbm.img</I><BR>
<I></I><BR>
<I>then have a stanza in menu.lst like:</I><BR>
<I></I><BR>
<I> title Smart Boot Manager (boot CDs!)</I><BR>
<I> kernel /boot/memdisk</I><BR>
<I> initrd /boot/sbm.img</I>
