All I tried to reproduce this didn't work, i.e. I could not break it in
my setup.  Which version of Qemu is that? Could you also make the
hello.iso available to me to have a look?

The build environment does not know how you named the directory you
built Fiasco in. I could just try to use 'common-path/build' but that
will break in other ways.

I think that the getting-started page mentions to use
MODULE_SEARCH_PATH=<path-to-fiasco-build-dir> to make this work. So my
question would be where did you read about grub2iso without that being
mentioned?
