Yeah, the code to check for the boot flag sadly isn't optimal yet
and fails as soon as the boot flag isn't on the first partition.

We've something pending in:

  
https://github.com/grml/grml2usb/commit/360632e096cbcd38d025d610cd64ce3fbb45c131

which might solve you issue, we'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for reporting!
