You can get a working version of GRUB to go on a floppy here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/
(Read the README.)

Then you'd need to follow directions in the GRUB manual to start booting from
the CD. This is the part where you'll have to do some research. I haven't done
that before, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
