Is rEFInd capable of booting a .iso file, as opposed to a .iso that has been dd'd onto a partition? If this is possible, how would I go about doing this?

Not by itself. To do that, you'd need an EFI loopback driver -- a driver that makes a .iso file look like a disk device. Such drivers exist for most OSes, but AFAIK none (yet) exists for EFI.

Hi all,

I haven't heard anything new on the subject, I'm afraid.
Is it possible to do it how grub2 does it?
