I've used grub via morphix.  It has worked fine without any hitch in
that scenario.  I tried to make my own bootable iso's by following
grub's info page instructions and ended up with things that didn't work
as expected (non-bootable CDs, CDs that would boot to the grub
commandline.)  Summary:  Seems to work but I'm not the one to ask how to
script a script that installs it :-).
