That's how it works in Grub legacy I suppose.
Nope. This is a different thing. This is a new feature which is not present in GRUB Legacy. Although people often mistake this, booting a CD from GRUB is quite different from booting a GRUB installed into a CD. GRUB Legacy has the latter feature, but not the former one. GRUB 2 needs to support both cases, but I prefer to see something not present in GRUB Legacy implemented in GRUB 2 first.
