This is something that Oxygen takes advantage of quite a bit; it's not
required, but even in the boot process it can be used as desired. 
Oxygen has the ability to read the entire disk into memory FIRST, then
load from that image - and this uses the loopback interface.  I've
also used the loopback to mount disk images as desired.

How much does this save you in 2.4?  How much in 2.2?
