Yes read, but the things is not that smooth with debian.
I have to configure it as
````
menuentry "debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso" {
loopback loop /debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso
linux (loop)/install.amd/vmlinuz boot=live iso-scan/filename=/debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso noeject noprompt --
initrd (loop)/install.amd/initrd.gz
}
````
The iso boots; but during installation at a stage it reports
`````
No cdrom detected
``````````
and I really don't need the cdrom detection where as I'm booting from USB.
Hence I asked the question..
