Hi,
another experiment proposal for Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski:
Zeroize the GPT of a copy of boot-grub2-f36.iso and adjust MBR partition 1.
Do this in bash for the $'\x...' gestures:
# Create the playground
cp boot-grub2-f36.iso test.iso
# Zeroize the main GPT
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 s

It comes to me that the MBR signature will be missing too. So it won't
be recognized by BIOS and its x86 code won't start.
The signature could be inserted by
echo $'\x55'$'\xAA' | dd of="$new_iso" conv=notrunc bs=1

to see the "boot/active" flag at some MBR partition table slot.
