An id identifying the correct boot device.

grml-live, like everything else.

grml2usb takes care of it. 
Basically the process is:
If no /conf/bootid.txt is present, generate a random id and write it to
/conf/bootid.txt.
Read /conf/bootid.txt and adjust the bootid parameter for every
specified iso.

What do you want to know? IMO it is quite simple, it is an identifier to
identify the system.
