Yes. Make an image, lets call it "A:" as a floppy image. Make another
image, lets call it "B:". Take the B: image and copy it into the A:
image and install syslinux+memdisk on A: so that it loads the B: image.
Now, you can pxe boot, isolinux boot, or syslinux boot the A: image. It
will then chainload the booloader on A:, which as already described, is
a syslinux+memdisk for B:. Then this syslinux instance chainloads the
image on B:, which needs some sort of OS on it.
