THANK YOU. My only problem was that Debian seems to read "findiso" parameter instead of "iso-scan/filename" as Ubuntu does. Now I boot Live .ISOs from GRUB2: Debian 7, Debian 8 and Debian 9. Debian 6 not. After a minute says: " BOOT FAILED! (...) live-boot will not start a shell. The error message was: Unable to find a medium containing a live file system " I've tried also with debian-8.10.0-i386-lxde-CD-1.iso (not Live: only installer) but DebianInstaller says "No common CD-ROM drive was detected" and asks for loading CD-ROM drivers or select CD-ROM module and device (noone is accepted).
