I think out a new idea or new concept of Virtual Machine on BIOS(VMB) for Booting. Now we can use boot loader tools such as Grub to boot from a floppy disk image file, but this method doesn't work for a live CD image file or a USBDisk image file, because the boot programs on these disks will clear the memory and don't know they are booting from a virtual device. So we need a true virtual machine working on BIOS.
Here are the cool usages of VMBB:
1)Install OS from or run live OS from CD image file, no need to burn the image file to a real disk.
2)Install OS to a RamDisk(virtual disk in memory) and run OS in memory which is much more faster than on hard disk. The RamDisk image file can be saved to disk and loaded directly to memory on the next boot.
3)Boot from network using a CD image file or Ramdisk image file thus enables a diskless system. The applications or games can be installed to a virtual hard disk which assign storage on a network shared disk.
