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?

The udpcfg.txt file goes into initrd, not linux.
The easiest way to get it into the proper place is to use the online
configurator at
Chose "initrd (for PXE)". Don't be bothered by the "for PXE"
label, it
can also be used for the hard disk image.
Another way is to not use an udpcfg.txt file at all, but rather supply
the parameters on the kernel line, after the name of the kernel.
