As of version 0.95, GNU [[GRUB]] comes with support for no-emulation [[El-Torito]] CD boot. Creating a CD image is much easier than working with floppy images and trying to stuff GRUB in them (and you get 650 meg more space too). Putting GRUB on a CD is now a simple matter of making a skeleton directory tree for the CD filesystem layout, copying the "stage2_eltorito" file in there, and running mkisofs with a specialized command line. See the GRUB 0.95 info node [http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html Installation > Making a GRUB bootable CD-ROM] for details. Much more humane than those floppy games.
