I have placed the dsl-3.0.iso and other files in a directory
DSL in the root of a hardisk partiton:

linux24
minirt24.gz
dsl-3.0.iso

Grub entry used:

title Dsl from ISO
kernel (hd1,6)/DSL/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init \ lang=us apm=power-off fromhd=/DSL/dsl-3.0.iso vga=normal
initrd (hd1,6)/DSL/minirt24.gz

The boot process stops with messge (machine locks up too):

Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry
dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset to reboot.
...
knoppix#

Any ideas?

"Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry"

You might try to copy /KNOPPIX directory into root
It is inside of iso file. It is redundant but it might work.
