Yes, but what are you hoping to do?

You can go into the rescue mode and, then, play with GRUB to install to
a hard drive (e.g. to get a system to boot that's not working right).
But if you're hoping to just get into GRUB to boot something, and not
reconfigure a GRUB installation, I don't know how you'd go about doing
that with the CD. I've done that with floppies, years ago, after a hard
drive shuffle upset a multi-boot system.
