GRUB 2 doestn't use anymore the same system as the stage* files in GRUB
Legacy.
It still uses the embeding area between MBR and first partition.
core.img is the file which ends up there and is much bigger then
stage1_5 from Legacy.
Because it not only contains the filesystem module to access /boot/grub
but also the GRUB kernel with the rescue mode.
