I used to need such a bootloader to boot from the CD on my Pentium 133; it was called XOSL (now folded into Ranish's (of Ranish Partition Manager fame) site): http://www.ranish.com/ ; and it did that by including Smart Boot Manager (http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ ; site somewhat broken, but individual HTML files still work fine). All GPL'd code. I don't know if we have a bootman replacement yet (and judging from some superficial digging of the sources tree, we don't), but this might be a good place to start in case we don't.
Sorry to go off-topic, but as a note: If you want a (Or to create a) boot manager, you can also look at GAG (The Graphical Boot Manger) for inspiration (And code, it's GPL too). http://gag.sourceforge.net/ -- Thank You, Mathew Schofield "Show me someone perfect, and i'll show you an idiot."
