Last status:

in my extlinux.conf file of the CF 8GB card (on IDE adapter, recognized in the PC as sdb, 1 is the partition with the extlinux.conf), I included
   ...
   label start grub
      kernel /boot/diverse/grub.exe   (from grub4dos zip file)
   ...

it starts grub.
Grub then seems to find the menu.lst I have on my sda (1 partition).

It dont find on the screen the menu.lst I included in the sdb1, directory /boot/diverse (where grub.exe is)
==============  menu.lst ================
#
color blue/green yellow/red white/magenta white/magenta
timeout 30
default /default
#
title papug linux iso
find --set-root /papuglinux-11.1a.iso
map --mem /papuglinux-11.1a.iso (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
chainloader (hd32)
...
========================================
So, this is probably a question of default setup of grub where it has to find the menu.lst.
I will further search how to say to grub.exe to use the menu.lst of the "sdb1/boot/diverse".
Any idea is welcome.

See Grub4dos Guide - Embedded Menu for a description of where grub4dos (grub.exe or grldr) looks for the file menu.lst.  You can place an abbreviated version of menu.lst in one of those standard places and use the configfile command to transfer control to a full version of menu.lst that resides in a non-standard location.
