This is good news (the "May" part).

I think with the "compressed" vnd patch and the "cloop" userland 
counterpart that Florian Stoehr is writing, this may be interesting.

Then again, having some bootloader that knows about cd9660 would mean we 
can boot different kernels, which would be nice too, and I thought someone 
posted about that a few weeks (months?) ago, but I don't remember.
I think using a kernel (with no ramdisk) and "root on cd" makes sense.
