I stumbled across this some days ago,
http://www.mgerards.net/blog/?cat=4
He writes about booting from iso9660 using a "loopback" module in grub2,
and the dist he is using is based on debian. A hot on the plate
packaged debian unstable, its called sidux. Docs about the fromiso
cheatcode:

Maybe it is possible to build something similar with a c32 program ?
