I do say so.

In such situations it is best to try it, wouldn't you agree? I'll even
give you a grub stanza to adjust for your needs.
menuentry "jessie-DI-b2-i386-netinst" {
loopback loop (hd1,msdos1)/boot/isos/debian-jessie-DI-b2-i386-netinst.iso
linux (loop)/install.386/vmlinuz
initrd (loop)/install.386/initrd.gz
}
It would be nice (and might help the OP) if you reported what happens
and declared yourself a believer. :)
