with lastest grub2 and grml2usb the following happens

# grml2usb ~gebi/data/grml-medium_2009.05.iso
~gebi/data/grml64-medium_2009.05.iso /dev/sdb1
Executing grml2usb version 0.9.7
Using ISO /home/gebi/data/grml-medium_2009.05.iso
Identified grml flavour "grml-medium".
Copying files. This might take a while....
Note: grml flavour grml-medium is being installed as the default booting system.
Using ISO /home/gebi/data/grml64-medium_2009.05.iso
Identified grml flavour "grml64-medium".
Copying files. This might take a while....
cp: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/grml2usbcn6H-0/boot/addons/bsd4grml/LICENCE.TXT': File exists
Note: you can boot flavour grml64-medium using 'grml64-medium' on the commandline.
Installing default MBR
grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR.
 This is a BAD idea.
grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this
setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is
discouraged.
