 cd.diff works on this specific PC (Asus A8N, Phonix-Award BIOS), CD
 appears as hd31.

 BTW: grub_biosdisk_iterate should IMO always expose the boot_drive (see
 my latest patch).
 With current CVS and cd.diff, the boot_drive would not be visible in
 'ls' if e.g 0x80=HDD, 0x82=boot CD (as seen on some old Laptop).

Thanks for the tip, please test the new patch, it start scanning for
cdrom if the boot drive is larger than the last harddisk.


OK, also on this Laptop. CD appears as hd2 in 'ls'.

Patch is IMO good to go.
