The kernel of LiveCD does not try to find the iso file of LiveCD in the hard disk?

Description

I copy the directory of boot/isolinux to the harddisk from the iso file of the LiveCD of lfs. And start the LiveCD by adding the following lines to grub's menu.lst 

title LFS LiveCD 6.2-3 
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/isolinux/linux 
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/isolinux/initramfs_data_cpio.gz

But the kernel of LiveCD just try to find the LiveCD in the cdrom driver (/dev/hdc) and does not try to find the iso file in the hard disk. I think this is a bug of the kernel of the LiveCD. It will be a good news for users without writable cdrom drivers, if the kernel can find the iso file in the hard disk.
