How come there are other bootloaders that allow booting to a CD-ROM with no extra files? Is it that the functionality isn’t built into GRUB?

Ok, just me being a bit dense. Must point to grub folder (hd0,4 for me).

Note sure what to do here:
“Note: root(hd0,0) should be according to your configuration.”

How do I work out what this should be?

Otherwise a great walkthrough, and much appreciated.
