[002] Setup
________________________________________________________________________________

Ensure that all required partitions are mounted.


--[003] BIOS -------------------------------------------------------------------

  Replace '/dev/sdX' with the disk (not partition) where Grub will be installed.

  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |                                                                            |
  |  $ grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX                                  |
  |  $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg                                    |
  |                                                                            |
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+


--[004] UEFI -------------------------------------------------------------------

  Replace 'esp' with the EFI mount point (typically /boot).

  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |                                                                            |
  |  $ grub-install --target=x86_64-efi \                                      |
  |                 --efi-directory=esp \                                      |
  |                 --bootloader-id=GRUB                                       |
  |  $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg                                    |
  |                                                                            |
