Follow-up Comment #5, bug #32426 (project grub):
Actually you didn't understand the install process. boot.img contains only
reference to first sector of core.img. Rest of blocklist is in core.img. So
embeddingless installs to read-only filesystems aren't supported. It's not a
bug but simply something which isn't supported. ISO9660 reserves only 16K. Not
enough for embedding. So the only way such install is supported is through
grub-mkrescue and frankly I don't see the point of supporting any other way of
iso9660 install. Feel free to supply the reason to change my opinion on the
later.
