Well there is some support in the bootloader for searching the image,
but we still miss a driver to make it usable by the kernel.
It's not that useless, some people might still want to be able to use
it on disks with no free partition and no usb connector or CD drive...
And it should be possible to modify the XP and Vista loaders to add a
menu entry.
