[bug #32998] grub-mkrescue ISO images bootable as disk (like isohybrid) but not mountable within Linux

[Josh Triplett]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #32998 (project grub):

Not quite.  Mounting grub.iso as a whole works the same as mounting the disk
rather than the partition.  Try putting the .iso you generated on a USB disk,
inserting it, and seeing if automounting works.  Because the disk has a
partition table, Linux will detect the partitions, and the automatic mounting
mechanisms will attempt to mount the partition rather than the whole disk;
attempting to mount the partition will fail.

isohybrid manages to make disks that handle this case, but grub-mkrescue does
not.
