Hi Shao,

>>> One cannot fool Linux into thinking there's an actual ODD (yet).

Exactly that is the problem when I try to boot my system. But thank  
you very much (and all the others here) for the input. I didnt know  
that it was possible to boot .iso directly. Hopefully a driver like  
you described is coming soon.

Thanks (...the threadstarter :) )
