I've been hacking on the GCT (an old Internet Appliance) with its Compact 
flash drive in the last couple of weeks and with that using a FAT partition 
and SYSLINUX has worked sort of. (Puppy Linux will load but I still haven't 
gotten DSL to load correctly.) This might be an option since ISOLINUX and 
SYSLINUX are essentially the same. You might be able to chain load the 
SYSLINUX partition from Grub.

Just some stray thoughts. I'm sure others will come up with a reason or two 
why it won't work. ;-)
