I'm going to upload a mother's day preview version of Super Grub Disk

floppy which has the BOOT FROM CDROM option thanks to:
Smart Boot Manager and MemDisk.

You can also search for "the all in 1 floppy" on google.

If you make a grub cd or burn it and you boot from it...
you can access the data of the cd beginning files with (cd).

Let's say cat (cd)/ and pressing TABULATOR key.

If you do not boot from the cdrom you cannot access to its files.
