Here is a grub menu entry that can boot ubuntu from an iso image
menuentry 'Try ISO BOOT' {
set isofile="/Isos-Installers/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,11)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt
noeject
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
============
Notes:
1. The image is ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
2. Its in /dev/sda11 In directory Isos-Installers
3. Only installers that use casper can do this (not sure it works for debian)
4. This can also be done from a grub-installed USB; You'll probably need to add
insmod uhci
insmod ahci
insmod iso9660
