grml2iso requires and uses grml2usb for this task and installs grub2
as bootmanager on the multiboot ISO.

-Generate a small iso file which downloads the squashfs file from the specified URI. Due to current limitations in busyboxs wget and DNS resolution, an URL can not contain a hostname but an IP only. This is useful if you want to boot systems which support booting iso image from your local system. Besides the iso image this command also copies the squashfs file to the output directory.

Introduction
------------
-grml2usb installs grml on a given partition of your usb device and makes it
-bootable. It provides multi-iso support, meaning you can specify several grml
-ISOs on the command line at once and select the grml flavour you would like to
-boot on the bootprompt then. Note that the *first* ISO specified on the grml2usb
-command line will become the default one (that's the one that will boot when
-just pressing enter on the bootprompt or wait until the boot timeout matches).

Why can't I just dd the ISO to a USB device?

-Well, you can. :) Starting with grml 2009.10 the ISOs are dd-able straight out-of-the-box.
