Strange, the above cleaned solution does not work. This is how I get it
worked and how I'm doing now:

 --------------------------------
 # my boot partition is /dev/sda3
 mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/tmp1/
 mount -o loop /path/to/distros/grml/grml_0.7.iso /mnt/tmp2
 mkdir -p /mnt/tmp1/boot.grml
 cp -pr /mnt/tmp2/boot /mnt/tmp1/boot.grml
 --------------------------------

And correspondingly, the grub/menu.lst should be something like:

  title GRML
        root   (hd0,6)
        kernel  /boot.grml/isolinux/linux26 welcome noeject noprompt ramdisk=100000 fromhd=/dev/sda7 
        initrd  /boot.grml/isolinux/minirt26.gz
