Perhaps I don't understand your situation; why you don't config your
BIOS to do that? Just make it the primary boot device.

You may want to control when you boot off a CD - maybe even password
protect that menu option in grub. I usually do not want my system to
boot off a CD, in case I forgot to remove the bootable CD I burned
for something else. (Or someone else put a CD in the drive, and I
didn't notice. I have also been too slow on hotting the F12 key to
bring up the boot device menu. I also have a couple of old laptops
here that will not boot off of a CD.
