I havent tried this and I assume you would have to boot to the floppy and have it bootable and a copy of your menu.lst on it which is your grub menu. I dont know in detail but I will try to find some info if no one else answers. Sorry I'm short on time this evening if I get a chance I will investigate it.

I don't know if this will help or not....
You can create a boot disk on a floppy by going to:
System>Administration>Startup Manager>Advanced>Create Rescue Floppy

OK I'll ask the dumb question.
Will Grub not boot from the second disc?
