I don't think chainloading an ISO from GRUB 1 is possible. I tried this with System Rescue CD with the ISO copied into /boot but because GRUB uses Interrupt 13h it can't be used for the virtual CD. I ended up having to copy the kernel/initrd and image from the CD and booting it the more traditional way. My memory is a little hazy at this point but it's something like that. I'm not sure if GRUB2 has the same limitation.
