I didn't. The example shown chainloads a floppy image called
cd_boot.img that is on the hard drive in the /boot partition, and
the boot partition in the first partition on the drive.  But the
example had a minor mistake - it should be:

title CD_Boot
	rootnoverify (hd0,0)
	chainload /cd_boot.img

Then it works. There should be a way to do it directly...
