[syslinux] Any way to boot a CD if no BIOS support & CD-ROM is not 100% standard?

Can it work on LiveCD instead of using isolinux?

For example :-

The HD has 2 partitions
- partition 1 : the Host
- partition 2 : LiveCD OS

On the Host running following command to create an ISO image;

$ mkisofs -R -b /path/to/boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -o livecd.iso \   
     -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V \
     "livecd" /path/to/livecdOS


on /boot/grub/menu.lst
title LiveCD
        root (hd3)
        kernel /boot/lfscdkernel ro root=/dev/hdd vga=795


Whether "root (hd3) is correct?  There is no partition on the CD.  The
CDRom is connected as Slave secondary IDE.

TIA
