>From what I've read, the current version of GRUB can't do that (I've
wanted to do the same thing, too).  Anyway, the hd moniker only applies
to hard drives, it's not simply the drives that it finds on the IDE or
SCSI ports.  If you've come across a CD-ROM that uses GRUB, itself, as
its boot menu (to boot it, or hand over to another drive), I think
you'll find it's GRUB 2.  I seem to recall Ubuntu did it that way.
