I'll explore that to see how they did it.

For my immediate problem, someone kindly provide this link:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81280

from there I went to here:

http://bootcd.narod.ru/index_e.htm

then to the Bootable CD Loader v1.50Z:

http://bootcd.narod.ru/bcdl_e.htm

and downloaded it:

http://bootcd.narod.ru/bcdl150z.zip

I unzip'ed it and dd'ed it to a floppy:

dd if=bcdl150z.ima of=/dev/fd0

On reboot it booted from the floppy and then the CD.  So, it worked  
great.

Although, I'm still curious to know why grub didn't work.
