Sorry I still don't get it.

Say when grml2usb installing grml-small and generates a bootid of grml-
small-123. Then when grml2usb installing my own flavour of grml, it 
generates another bootid of my-own-456. Now grml-small expect that the 
bootid is grml-small-123, and mine being my-own-456. My understand is 
that only one of them can boot now. which part I've figured wrong?

Thanks
