Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD. The failures
all amount to an inability to open files using grub_util_fd_open,
because we cannot set the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl. This sysctl is
indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the
MBR, but if we need

Is there a good reason why we don't have a separate partition for core.img? It
doesn't seem like it's an OK idea for anything

This becomes quite confusing by the fact that

It used to work the way which is still in the docs.

May I also suggest that "--core-img-location" parameter accept a block-list in
some format, in addition to the device identifier?grub-install
--boot-block-location=/dev/sda --core-img-location=/dev/sda[63+1985] => embed
core image in the 1985 sectors starting at LBA 63 on /dev/sda This would be

It comes to me that it would be easier to document that the
first "--" brings you out of grub-mkrescue option interpretation
and that the second "--" brings you into xorriso native command
mode.
I.e. no change in grub-mkrescue, no -list_delimiter +

So the documentation seems not to match the implementation.

This doesn't work for me:

This "--" is most probably not what you want.
man grub-mkrescue says (and xorriso indeed does it):
"Option -- switches to native xorriso command mode."
But -no-pad is not a native xorriso command.
$ xorriso -as mkisofs -- -no-pad

The floppy images built by grub-shell are currently just over the
floppy limit, and the Debian patch set plus the 915resolution extra
bring this up to the point where GRUB tries to actually read past
the floppy limit, breaking fddboot_test. Passing -no-pad buys us
300KiB, which should keep us goin
