Yes, it's possible and I did it some (long) time ago.
I did it for my installation media (boot from floppy, install from cd-rom)
I was very short in disk-space, so this trick allowed me not put iso96660.o 
module to the floppy - both harddrive and cdrom have only ext2
But it was with RedHat 6.0. Yeas, this long ago.

More recent kernel won't mount cdrom with ext2 filesystem :(
