Mr. I want to tell you that there is a program named ieldr (isoemu), it can boot your
system with an isofile.
You can download it from http://159.226.20.15/grub_chs/isoemu/bin, for the last
version, select `isoemusv#_eng.zip' for english readme.txt.
Within this package, there is a demo cd, called isogrub.iso, you can use it directly,
and load a dos envirenment with eltorito.sys support - yes, you have cd accessible at
the prompt!
Ehn, it has the limitation, only support FAT32.
Wish this is the one what you want. ;-)

Summary: Possible to boot an ISO bootable file?
Original Submission: I wish it could be possible to boot standard ISO bootable files
stored on the HDD using Grub.
One solution, I believe could be to set up a fake cd driver named for example (vcd)
and then mapping or loading the ISO file to (vcd) and launch the boot process used for
CD boot on the (vcd) device.
I would like to use a command like the one for a standard cdrom:
vcdrom --install (hdx,y)/path/to/bootable_file.iso
vcdrom --bootcd
Or being able to map the ISO file to the standard (cd).
Could you tell if this is possible (I imagine one prerequisite would be that the ISO
file is contiguous)?
Or did I forget something that would prevent Grub to do such things?
Thanks.
