I use this to create a custom grub2 efi app with memdisk embedded -

/bin/grub-mkimage --directory=/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi
--memdisk="${memdisk_64_img}" --prefix='(memdisk)/efi/grub2'
--format=x86_64-efi --compression=xz
--output="${grub2_efi_mp}/efi/boot/bootx64.efi" ${GRUB2_MODULES}

Hope this helps.

Make it

 search --file --no-floppy --set=root /boot/grub/grub.cfg
 configfile (${root})/boot/grub/grub.cfg

I can't understand the question. You want grub to boot into
grub-shell? Don't create a ${prefix}/grub.cfg file.
