Using LILO to boot CDROM.

Hello people...

I am not trying to boot Linux off CDRom, but rather boot CDRom from Linux.

I want to have a Lilo that can boot my Linux, Floppy and CDRom.

While setting up a configuration booting from the floppy is quite easy, setting LILO to boot from CDRom the same way does not work (Surprise!).

So:

Code:

other=/dev/fd0
  label=Boot_Floppy
  unsafe

Works, but how to do the same for /dev/hdc (my CDRom)?

Is this doable with another OS Loader like GRUB?

I want to have:

MultiBoot for both Linux and Windows
Graphical boot screen
Animated boot screen (like gfx patched Lilo)
Floppy and CDRom backup booting.

Any options?
