Something reasonably close could be implemented using grub as the CD
bootloader, since it can at least let the user make a decision about which
to boot.  They would need to explicitly choose to boot from the CD the first
time, but upon rebooting, they could accept the default of booting from the
hard disk.  This is the approach taken by Windows CDs.

I thought aptitude did this...if it was fairly close, then it is nontrivial
to predict this with some filesystems.
