It means you can do:
mkdir -p boot/grub
zile boot/grub/grub.cfg
grub-mkrescue --overlay=boot
Of course, it'd be easier if you could just add it directly, but I really
think having this in a separate directory is a good idea (in case user wants
to add random stuff to her memdisk).
So I'm not sure if it can be improved. Does it seem fine as-is ?
