Can you please point me in the right direction?
2. Did I miss something plain simple? (like, a boot parameter that will mount the iso image to correct location; or link it; or whatever)You'll be interested in the short discussion at http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2013/09/msg00094.html and its associated bug report at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=724931
Great, thanks. But it seems as a dead end.It would be helpful if you could share any knowledge you might have on utilizing loop.ko module, mentioned in the bug report.
