Apparently we shipped this, at least since 2.0.12-1+grml.04.

git commit ebe5a713317b3a90be62fd1b5e97289648e25a67 in live-boot-grml.git pending.

Within live-boot's debian/patches/07_support_findiso.dpatch we're using code from the main live script nowadays, though AFAICT the following part is missing: if [ -n "$FROMISO" ] && [ "${TORAM}" ] then losetup -d /dev/loop0 grep -q /isofrom /proc/mounts && umount / isofrom fi Needs testing/debugging.

If booting with: kvm [...] -hda /grml/test.img -kernel linux26 -initrd initrd.gz \ -append "boot=live findiso=/foobar/grml.iso" it works fine, though with: kvm [...] -hda /grml/test.img -boot d -cdrom ./grml.iso -boot d and "findiso=/foobar/grml.iso" as additional bootoption the CD-ROM is used instead of the ISO from the harddisk. We might have to prepare the findiso handling in live-premount/ already instead of live-bottom/05mountpoints so the (non-specified) boot medium does not win over the specified harddisk file.
