I do say so.

In such situations it is best to try it, wouldn't you agree? I'll even
give you a grub stanza to adjust for your needs.

  menuentry "jessie-DI-b2-i386-netinst" {
  loopback loop (hd1,msdos1)/boot/isos/debian-jessie-DI-b2-i386-netinst.iso
  linux (loop)/install.386/vmlinuz
  initrd (loop)/install.386/initrd.gz
  }

It would be nice (and might help the OP) if you reported what happens
and declared yourself a believer. :)
