What I like about it is that you don't have to hardcode the grub devices: findf /wd80_0jd-60.06 root $(out_device) finds the device that has file wd80_0jd-60.06 on it and uses that as root. No more hardcoding! But I don't know if that function is available with the Super GRUB2 disk, I can't find anything on that, except the news that it has been released and the download of the iso.

And do you have to have GRUB2 installed in order to use the GRUB2 disk? I asked but noone answered.
