GRUB boot option to boot the Arch Live CD image from an HDD partition?

I dunno where else to post this question, so here goes.  I'd like to have the Arch Live CD as an option in my GRUB boot menu.  How can I accomplish this?  I did it successfully with memtest86+ following this wiki page.

Thanks!

Interesting thought, I like the idea.

Yeah, it would be a nice way to get into a live environment that doesn't mount your filesystems.  I just don't know how to go about it.

Check out this wiki page, should do it. I think the isolinux-image is the version to use for this.

EDIT: here is another link: Chakra LIve from Harddisk
