More exactly, the BM bootsector is loaded first, then it loads the 
remainder of the 1st 14 Kb of the BM. So, it requires the hard disk 
access for that. So, yes, you can use emulated hard disk partition 
(using memdisk of GRUB4DOS). The only needed thing is to fill the boot 
sector BPB first with actual values.
