I was thinking ramdisk. If one boots off CD or a hdd or a USB disk, there's something approaching a real disk (at least) for stage2. If you want the ability to remove the boot medium, then that has to be stored somewhere else.
The target disk would be nice, but that's not (reliably) available until partitioning and filesystem layout is done.
