I won't answer your question but juste make two comments.

1) Why do you want to boot the Debian Jessie installer ? You don't need
it to upgrade your Wheezy installation to Jessie, only to reinstall a
new system.

2) You can boot the Debian installer from the boot loader installed on
the system disk. The installer has a kernel image (vmlinuz) and
initramfs (initrd.gz) just like any other Linux system.
