In an HVM environment, you can pass SDx through as HDA or XVDA (depending on the Xen version, I think XVDA may be used for HVM now, but I'm not sure). In a PV environment, the same could be done if PV supported partitioned devices, but I'm not certain it does, so each partition would on the given device would have to be included in the config. Either way, this is still virtual. To actually use the device in a non-virtual way, I believe you would have to have a separate controller that you used pci passthrough to give to the guest. Even in this scenario, there may be virtualization performance implications, but I don't know.

What I want to do is to boot from flash-disk and run any ISO to install on real machine. So some kind here are some virtualisation exists. But here may be another approach then using VM.
