GRUB* can _not_ boot ISOs.  Don't confuse reading files from an ISO9660 file system image with booting from it.  It can't boot arbitrary ISOs but can boot using files from some ISOs some files from ISOs, presuming it understands how to suitably boot them.

coreplayer2:
I find this interesting..    Grub2 is a boot loader, it has the ability to read/access ISO's using it's iso9660.mod driver.   it has the capability to of finding an ISO using the findiso command then loop mount the kernel.

I never realized until today that using a loopback config file restores boot menu options seen when booting the cd normally

SNAFU:
you definitly can boot an iso file from grub2, not grub (1.xx)
