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..
