I just wanted to say that recipe does not produce an image that can be
booted from UEFI hard disk.
I had assumed all this time that it worked (I only tested the EFI CDROM
boot) because if you read it here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD_002dROM.html#Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD_002dROM
grub-mkrescue -o grub.iso iso
This produces a file named grub.iso, which then can be burned into a CD
(or a DVD), or written to a USB mass storage device.
So, if I'm not mistaken that's not true when you boot from EFI (Well, I
know that you are fixing it on this thread).
