You referred to grub.cfg and stage2*.  AFAIK those are GRUB Legacy and 
not GRUB 2.

There does indeed seem to be a problem with the GRUB 2 documentation. 
Most of the files in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ are of type .mod and .img. 
I think the file you want is cdboot.img, but I'm not sure how to use it.
