Bad news: After getting to initramfs stage the boot sequence stops, complaining about missing root filesystem. This happened with Fedora netinst, Ubuntu liveCD and SystemRescueCd images. Changing storage gadget to CD-ROM mode or USB-HDD mode didn't matter.
Swapping the SD card with ISO images to my other Pandora (with broken screen) which has SZ 1.74 allows booting with those same images in USB mode. I didn't try it in CD-ROM mode.
Later I will try to see if setting Legacy boot (instead of UEFI) in laptop BIOS settings improves things for booting from SZ 1.75 storage gadget.
I experimented a bit with your Commands and...
..and...yay i got a complete OS booting from the Pandora
It was ZorinOS..a Linux Iso for my Test.
the exactly Command was:
My Reason to try this without cdrom=1 in that case was an old Trick to boot Cdrom Isos without a Cdrom Drive.
The old Trick was to copy the iso with DiskDump directly to a USB Pendrive and boot from Usb-Pendrive
Now the Pandoras Mounted Iso is rekognized from my Bios as Usb-Pendrive and boot fine the whole OS from it.
Can you confirm that with your Hardware?
For me it work now realy realy fine here for booting
(Windows itself rekognize it as unformated Drive but that is not importand to boot the Isos)
@PowerGod
Now you can add that Command in that way to your PND and maybe ask before Drive Emulating:
Do you whish to boot from this? Then you can use my Command...
...or..
Do you whish to emulate this Iso as Cd/DvdRom? ..then you can use the older Command

- Added the choice "Optical Drive / BOOT Device"
- The interface shows what emulation is enabled, also the "OK" button is now a "REMOVE VIRTUAL DRIVE" button
I'll leave the update only here for now, I can't try it, so tell me how it works...
