Hello there,
once I saw the challenge (or feature bounty) called: Make our ISOs flashable to USB drives ("isohybrid")
I suppose this works now: CORE-12648, CORE-13184
I guess one can overwrite hard disk with the .iso , and then it boots. Fine.
My idea is to take the implementation a step further: to copy .iso image into a specific partition on HDD thus preserving other partitions intact.
Or does this already work?

I mean scenario like this:
Re: Booting El Torito image from a partition table wrote:
Download SGD [2] , Kaspersky [1] or Rescatux [3]. All three are hybrid GRUB iso9660 images. Dump one of them into /dev/loop1p1
# cat [...].iso > /dev/loop1p1
Run under kvm or qemu. It will hang on "GRUB":
# qemu -hda /dev/loop1
Now download almost whatever live distro. We'll try with SLAX [4] because it is small:
# wget http://www.slax.org/download/7.0.8/slax ... 8-i486.iso
Make it hybrid "partOK" and dump it into the partitioned device:
# isohybrid -partok slax-Russian-7.0.8-i486.iso
# cat slax-Russian-7.0.8-i486.iso > /dev/loop1p1
Test again with virtualization or emulation. It will show the SLAX splash welcome screen.
# qemu -hda /dev/loop1
