No, I definitely mean drive. If you put the iso file in /home and try
to use it as the stage2, the whole drive will not be available in the
installer. I could directly dd the iso to a partition and use that
partition as the stage2, but not as a file.
There is a way to get grub to find and load kernel and initiramfs from
an ISO file. The docs might help, but most likely read GRUB help@
archives. Failing that, ask on that list.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a grub module to read from iso
files, but that is irrelevant here. If you tell the installer to get
the stage2 from an iso file, the installer will remove the entire drive
(not just the partition) containing the file from the install options.
