Is there a way of booting an iso without writing it to a CD? I have

R.
You *could*... but it would involve extracting the kernel from off the
iso, creating a custom init that wouldn't try to mount the CD but would
instead mount the iso that's located somewhere on your hd partition,
packaging that init back up into the initramfs_data.cpio.gz, and then
sticking both that initramfs and kernel onto your boot partition.
