CD booting with BOOTMGR manager (Users)

I like and everyday use the boot manager BOOTMGR from BTTR-software.
It allows to boot from any hard disk partition and from diskette drive.
But it can't boot from CD.
I understand that adding such support could be difficult and size of the generated code maybe could break some size limit.

So I want to ask for alternative solution.
It would we sufficient to select for booting some very small disc partition with code which could chain the booting proces onto CD-ROM.

I know that GRUB4DOS can do such things but I am not sure if it will work not from MBR location but from partition location.
And besides that, GRUB4DOS is too complicated, maybe somebody knows some more light and straightforward solution?
