The big problem here is that the *CD* isn't working! SO I think your
advice perhaps isn't appropriate in this case. The major problem here is
that the usb-cdrom is non bootable. Worse, there is now no working OS on
the machine at all, just grub. So I think it's down to one of:
* USB boot (via USB stick)
* PXE network boot (with TFTP on another machine)
* Floppy disc boot - and hope that the USB CDROM is supported
* Hardware hack - eg remove drive and install in a different machine.
