Yes it can. And you can insmod and boot. It's just an unusable pain
without a dependancy resolver
(which won't dd due to code choices in grub2 additions, rather it will
but part b won't find part c - doesn't even try - odd considering it
should be in a or b if you ask me, viewing the code that is) I know
that's code isn't in the manual :)
But also "grub-mkrescue" isn't in the upstream that's a debian
addition or script or script made immutably in debian C++.
grub-mkrescue is in upstream, is intended for floppies (when used with
xz and some xorriso options), sticks and CDROMs, requires xorriso and
has no --image-type option.
grub-install is intended for mediums able to hold all extensions
uncompressed.
Where's the debian Manual your getting the advice from ? With that I
can answer for em self :) I did ask :)
Thanks -- John
