Michael, did you follow the Andras->Tom Horsley link?
Yes.
did you first extract the vmlinuz, initrd.img from the /isolinux/ directory on the iso?
Yes.
did you then create a grub.conf install stanza, following Horsley's example? Note that he uses the "repo=" option;
Yes.
In my opinion you should try following his example exactly, including the "repo=" part.
Did that too. 'Tis hard to document.
I have followed Horsley's prescription for hdinstalls for several years with great success.
