Boot off FAT based ISO image?
...ad
it's blocks from the ISO file in the FAT file system on the FAT devices

As well as passing that knowledge to ISOLINUX it would be good if it
could also pass some APPEND text used by ISOLINUX
Maybe the syslinux config would be:
KERNEL ubuntu-10.10.iso
APPEND cd_loopback=ubuntu-10.10.iso
syslinux notes that the kernel is an ISO file and so loads ISOLINUX from
the ISO file. ISOLINUX adds: cd_loopback=ubuntu-10.10.iso to all APPEND
strings
Thus, with a little bit of init-rd support to look for cd_loopback and
find the ISO file; any newer linux ISO could be boote...
