How to configure GRUB to boot from CD-ROM?

I would like to include an entry in my GRUB menu to let it boot from
CD-ROM. To make it clear: I do not want to install GRUB on CD-ROM. I want
a menu entry pointing to CD-ROM in my locally installed GRUB.

Is such configuration possible? And if it is, how does it look like?

I tried

title CD-ROM
rootnoverify (hd2)
chainloader +1

But it does not work. Searching the net resulted in many explanations how
to make bootable CD-ROM, but that's not what I'm looking for.

An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up,
Scotty'.
