No more need to listen to a whining CD/DVD drive on each new command! This makes it possible to have a handy way to install an operating system with everything in RAM, especially for "light weight" LiveCDs. Gentoo liveCD is handy because it has a minimal shell which lets the user mount the squashed image to the correct location and then press the Esc key to continue the boot process. Without kernel cmdline options, booting ISO images with GRUB2 will fail in the physical media check/test stage of the ISOs boot process. In any case, the ISO images in question should be built keeping kernel cmdline arguments in mind. It is possible to chainload ISO images (LiveCD/DVDs) with GRUB Legacy, however there exists no way to pass kernel cmdline arguments before boot. The new ISO (or loop) chainload mechanism makes chainloading a breeze.
