boot from a large iso file

[sleepybrown]

I'm sorry I should rephrased the message. I understand that 2gb will inevitably fail. Most of the machine anywhere from 2gb-8gb ram. I was hoping there was a way to have a bootloader mount and read the directory of the extracted ISO. From what I've been researching iSCSI is the way to go, but I haven't found really anything about using it in linux, even more in fog. I also want to go for your idea which is pretty much the same direction I was heading in. Stupid question should there be a specific kernel and initrd I should be looking for?
