Question boot fedora from iso using loopback in grub2

Hi, guys! I'm sorry if this question has been answered countless times, but I've searching for answers with no luck. Anyway here's my problem: With ubuntu I'm allowed to boot from an iso image using loopback in grub2, and all I have to do is to pass iso-scan/filename=/xxx.iso to kernel at boot time. The complete grub.cfg looks like this:

menuentry "Ubuntu Maverick" {
loopback loop (hd0,msdos1)/boot/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso quiet splash
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
boot
}

However, fedora doesn't seem to have support for iso-scan, and I've tried isofrom=, findiso=, root=live: with no success. I'm using fedora 13. So is there a way to accomplish this with fedora, or is this feature not supported at all? Thanks.
