Has anybody reached to boot a Debian ISO image?
For example, installing GRUB2 on a USB stick with .iso files.

I've tried this with no luck*:*

submenu "debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-gnome.iso" {
    iso_path="/debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-gnome.iso"
    search --set=root --file $iso_path
    loopback --delete loop
    loopback loop $iso_path
    root=(loop)
    menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux Live (kernel 4.9.0-6-amd64) [grub]" {
      linux  /live/vmlinuz-4.9.0-6-amd64 boot=live components
"${loopback}"
      initrd /live/initrd.img-4.9.0-6-amd64
    }
}

Results in*:*

[...] ... mounted filesystem...
[...] random: crng init done

How are you installing the ISO on the USB stick? Did you build the
image yourself, if not where is it from?

Original .ISOs from Debian torrent downloads.
$ cp debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-gnome.iso /media/user/MyStick
$ grub-install "--root-directory=/media/user/MyStick" /dev/sdX
