I doubt it has been done and while technically feasible I don't quite get the point of this.

You'd boot WB 3.9 CD in order to do what?

to install it directly from CD without having to install and setup 3.1
You install the OS often then?

I think being able to boot from a CDROM would be something really useful.
For what?

Well okay, fair enough. I can't quite see the "cool factor" in it in however.

It should be doable, at least if you can use 1MB ROM.

Well, you can probably look at the CD32 ROMS and patch in your CDROM driver...

It's unlikely that would help much as the CD32 CD-ROM is quite different from regular ATAPI device.
