maybe more precisely, without initrd.gz from hd-media involved, but
could use initrd.gz from the
ISO file we have.

yes, that's why i ask this question.
The initrd.gz from iso can't locate iso file, but i can. how can let
the install process know
where the iso file is.
The initrd.gz from hd-media can locate iso file by iso-scan, but it
would scan all dev
over. it takes a while. it does works as automation work, but if i
could tell the iso file location,
why not? (hd-media + iso is my preferred way to install debian,
though, i always have a bootable USB
along with me)
