Yes it is possible there is a project that you might be interested in
looking: http://ubcd.sf.net the project uses both memdisk and diskemu.
But not isolinux (they use a something called cdshell) 

It is also possible to do what you want with a basic isolinux setup
remembering to setup the config file so that memdisk is the kernel and
the floppy image is the initrd.
