So...

Everyone knows we can set the PC to boot into CD/DVD using BIOS and stuff...

But, i wanna know how can I make an entry in GRUB so that I can boot into the 2 OSes(Ubuntu and Windows) or into any DVD/CD I have?

Details:
My DVD drive is Secondary Master : /dev/hdc

Tnx in advance...

I don't think it can be done with GRUB and DVD/CD but I know of booting from floppy using lilo. Here's the entry I use...

Code:

other=/dev/fd0
  label=floppy
  unsafe

Now you can just use your floppy to boot. Another way could be that you create a boot floppy, boot from it and then start the Live CD using it. iirc knoppix comes with a knoppix.img for a similar procedure. it is also known as "knoppix boot floppy".
