Details:
grub-mkrescue creates .iso images which include a magic hard disk partition
table and boot sector at the beginning, making them work either as a bootable
CD or as a bootable USB disk, like isohybrid disks. However, unlike isohybrid
disks, the disk images built by grub-mkrescue will not mount on a normal Linux
system. dmesg says "ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.".
