I was hoping I could boot the resulting ISO using syslinux's memdisk,
but so far it's failing in my tests with qemu. I tried this:

LABEL debian-live
    KERNEL memdisk
    APPEND initrd=stressant-stretch-amd64-0.2.iso iso raw

i also tried with only "iso" ("bootstrap too large to load"), only "raw"
(hangs after "Loading boot sector... booting..."), "harddisk" (same as
"raw") and nothing (same as "raw").

I have also tried to make this work with Debian install and Debian live
images. So far, they both fail to load their rootfs properly... But I
could be doing something wrong with syslinux here...

yeah, i read that post - and i'm a bit worried... not sure we want yet
another new DSL...

it seems we are constantly reinventing d-i here. :)
