I came across here because I was tired of burning countless bootable ISO images and thus wanted to use GRUB 2 to bootstrap a FreeDOS one for updating the firmware/microcode of Seagate HDDs. As a complement or alternative to mivk's answer (using memdisk of syslinux), the following was what I had done to leverage the power of GRUB 2:
Install syslinux-common ...

If you have more than one computer, it is possible to install without physical media by booting over the network using PXE. It's not necessarily an easy process, but quite satisfying and good for learning if you're willing to see it through. Here are some of the references that I used (please excuse the sites, the other computer was an old MacBook):

USB sticks can be setup using grub2 using this helpful article. http://rww.name/grub2iso.html
I find using the loopback of grub2 invaluable for testing out new isos without requiring a usb stick or burning to CD. There are bugs filed against Fedora to make something similar work. Tracking down the current status is a little bit time consuming.

Misplaced order
You may misplaced the order of the files.

Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/file.img /path/to/file.iso

In short: "Where is the file you saved at?"
A few things to try/consider:
The "~/" portion of your question assumes that the file exists in your main /home/ folder for your user. Where (exactly) is the file located?
Have you tried...
hdiutil convert /ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.img -format UDRW -o /ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso instead?
It sounds like ...

Actually what you need is a MultiSystem. It uses similar option as GRUB and you can mount almost any ISO file. Worked well for me.

You can't burn it to a single layer DVD or split it. What you can do is mount it with something like Daemon Tools and then rip that your hard disk. Once it's in your hard drive and no longer in ISO format you can either shrink it to single layer size with something like DVDShrink or you can possibly split it with something like IFOEdit if you know what you ...

Besides a DVD, you have several other options.
Super Grub2 disk. Burn the beta5 (or probably any later version) to a CD, and then put the ISO on a flash drive or something in a directory called /boot-isos/. Boot SG2D and select detect loop bootable isos. (Note that SG2D only searches drives for loop bootable ISOs that were detected when SG2D was booted, ...

You probably won't find a CD that will (naturally) support that size file, and overburning isn't recommended due to issues.
I'd recommend using a DVD instead, or if that's not an option, a USB drive.
EDIT: I'd emphasize trying to get a DVD... I personally had many issues with using my 8 GB USB drive. The first time I attempted a DVD install was fully ...

im going to guess you are trying to install without a disc, im my experience the iso mounting occurs when the system loads and its after grub, may i suggest opening or mounting the iso and copying the files onto a USB, that should work, oh and make sure the partition settings of the usb are the same, eg the partition can be booted.
If yyou are trying to ...

first go to "winRAR" FILE > RIGHT CLICK ON IT > OPEN WITH ... > WINDOWS IMAG DISC BURNER > INSERT YOUR EMPTY CD > AND BURN .
THE THING IS YOU HAVE NOT DOWNLOAD A WIN FILE YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED AN ISO FILE VERY CORECTLY BUT IT JUST APPER'S AS A WIN FILE SO JUST BURN IT AS AN ISO FILE WITH OUT EXTRACTING IT .

"dd" is "iso" for all intents and purposes. It's a raw image, and as mentioned above, it will boot in qemu or kvm (assuming it isn't corrupt) if it is a raw image.
Example, if you take a hard drive with Ubuntu installed, located at /dev/sdc, and use the command: dd if=/dev/sdc bs=8M of=/home/me/sdc.raw, you can then boot /home/me/sdc.raw using qemu or KVM.

Create a VM with a size (6G below) (it will be small until the install is done into it)
qemu-img create myvm.img -f qcow2 6G
Then install the iso into your vm
kvm -m 750 -cdrom ${PWD}/whatever.iso -boot d myvm.img
And run it in 990M of memory:
kvm -m 990 myvm.img

This utility will run under Linux.
Multisystem is an awesome tool created by LiveUSB.info, that works
similar to our Windows based MultiBootISOs USB creator, but was
created for use within Linux. It also uses Grub2 instead of Grub
Legacy, and can be run from within Ubuntu Linux to create a Custom
Multiboot UFD containing your favorite Bootable ...

It is better to install a 64 bit version of Ubuntu, if your processor architecture supports it. amd64 iso corresponds to 64 bit version of Ubuntu.
And its called amd64 because, the original specifications for x86-64 was created by AMD. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64)
Your processor supports 64 bit instruction set. (Source : ...

Here you have to use one software that provides you to run and extract and so many options (PowerIso). Or other wise you have to mount that file in to removable media and then you have to tap open with new window by right clicking the Disk drive (that you mounted) after that it will shows you all files held in that .ISO file. Simply go and use that ".exe and ...

A "bootable" USB disk requires a "bootable" ISO files to be burned on it.
The litmus test is simple: If burning the said ISO on a DVD would get you a bootable DVD, then any of the methods (like "startup disk creator") to "burn" the ISO on usb would do the trick. But if the ISO would not give you a bootable DVD, then it can NEVER give you a bootable USB, ...

AMD64 is affixed to the end of the name of the file, because AMD was the first to adopt a realistic 64-bit architecture that was backwards-compatible, therefore, Intel has to license the x86-64 instruction set from AMD.
In other words, there is no Intel version, and there is no AMD version. As long as you have a processor made after 2006-2008, you have ...

The .pkg file is for Macs. The site sees you're not using windows and redirects you.
If you trick it to think you're using Windows, e.g. by using Internet Explorer via wine or the "user-agent switcher" add-on for Firefox you should be able to download a .msi file which wine will be able to run.
TL;DR: Here's a DL link

Seems as though 13.04 requires a different syntax to achieve this. Has anyone successfully booted the ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso from a physical disk and would care to share the grub syntax?

Make sure you chose the 64 bit version if your computer is 64 and 32 if your computer is 32. This happened to me before the only thing that worked with me was installing ubuntu 12.10 from a usb.
