I find it easier using grub-floppy (which comes with grub). From it's man
page:

grub-floppy - program to do build a generic grub boot disc
DESCRIPTION
grub-floppy  is  a  program to build a generic grub boot disc. The boot disc
when booted provides the grub command line (also  referred  to  as the grub
shell).

This tool basically does what you did, so they are pretty much equivalent.
Still, it is useful to know this command.
