 Why not load udpcast directly rather than play russian dolls by pretending
 to boot a floppy?

 Just point GRUB's kernel and initrd parameters _directly_ to the kernel and
 udpcast ramdisk:

 title           UDPcast
 root            (hd0,3)
 kernel          /linux
 initrd          /initrd

 Where vmlinux.bin is the kernel (as downloaded from
 http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/linux) and initrd is the udpcast ram disk
 (as downloaded from http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/initrd)

Thank you so much, it is so easy this way!

Just a problem: I thought I could get a preconfiguration by putting a
udpcfg.txt file along with linux and initrd, but it doesn't work,
I still get the menu at boot. What is wrong?
