then what do i do wit that disk image??  how do i tell grub to boot from that?  is that  grub only booted when the disk is in the drive?  is there a way to make it constant on an existing grub setup??

Another way is with a special version of GRUB, as described in the wiki: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/GRUB_PXE

You don't need GRUB.
