No succeed with grub (Not fai and no other CD with the grub loader)! But 
Knoppix works well and from a USB stick in the same environment. Also 
debian and DebianLive works fine as I remember. 
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/

I think the difference is that they use isolinux insted of grub. Also 
that technic is near to the pxe booting! So may be you can swap to 
isolinux?  Then we can also boot the CD Image from network like Knoppix 
may be with the option toram. :-)

bye Andreas

PS: I will test the CD if you have any solution and will report if you 
need help.
