According to http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK and
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847&page=13&p=10818457#post10818457
it should be something like:
# Boot super grub2 disk from iso image
LABEL super grub2 disk hybrid_2.00s1-beta6.iso
LINUX memdisk
INITRD super_grub2_disk_hybrid_2.00s1-beta6.iso
APPEND iso bigraw
(but I haven't tested this.)
