well, the weird thing is that grml-rescueboot is a very similar package
(similar configure file to read isos, etc...) and ITS ABLE to find the
isos, even if in my /home :)

Try it yourself, i kid you not :). I tried with grml-rescueboot and its
able to find the iso.

PD: the thing is, my boot partition is very small and outside lvm, i
should have to resize everything. And i think its technically possible
to read from there, coz other similar program (same authors i think) its
able to do it ... :)
