I can use grub-mkrescue to create an El Torito image and burn CD which boots and can run menu. Is that what you mean, or is there a way to boot  direct from iso?

Thanks

Hi,

My menu patch haven't synced with latest svn yet, perhaps it's some
bug fixed after my last sync. Anyway, I always create iso image when
testing pc mode, so it's possible that there is issue in grub-install
and I don't even noticed.
