Oh yes. This works. There's quite a bunch of GRUB commands in grub.cfg.
(I should better learn how to copy+paste with the kvm window.
 Just in case ...)

Works too (with /mnt). 
I did read man mount, but offset= is mentioned sparsely enough that i
oversaw it.

Thanks for improving my Linux knowledge. :))


Have a nice day :)
