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++.

Where's the debian Manual your getting the advice from ?  With that I can answer for em self :)  I 
did ask :)

Thanks  -- John
