(fd0) is indeed the floppy image on the El Torito CD.

The problem I think with (fd1) ("real (fd0)") is that you have an "old"
version of GRUB specifying the booting device as (fd0). Then the stage1
on (fd1) calls a stage2 on (fd0) that is on the floppy El Torito image. Hence
this fails. If you upgrade your stage1 on the floppy (not specifying explicitely
the booting device) this should work.
