You can create a DOS partition and copy the ISO to that partition and mount
it with loop at start up. The machine won't know the difference.

Subject: [SLUG] Can LILO or GRUB boot a CD-ROM?
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 14:39:30 -0500
I have an old Pentium box that currently has Slackware installed on it. I
would like to install a new distro but the BIOS does not support booting
from CD-ROM. I would like to know if there is a way to configure LILO (or
GRUB) to do it so that I do not have to find and use a floppy. I was unable
to find any information about this with Google.
