title floppy

chainloader +1
boot

If you want to boot from a USB you need your BIOS to support it.
And an USB is treated like another hard disk. If you boot from the USB 
its grub device is usually hd0. (Unless you boot with Super Grub Disk 
and use the usbshift command).

If you want to boot from a CD you need memdisk and smart boot manager.

I think it was something like this:

title cdrom
kernel /path/to/memdisk
initrd /path/to/sbm.bin
boot

and then smart boot manager let you (in some cases) to boot the cdrom.

Where to find memdisk and sbm... hummm... search for the mothers day old 
SGD floppy. They are there somewhere in the floppy.
