NAME

grub-install - install GRUB on your drive

SYNOPSIS

grub-install [OPTION] install_device

DESCRIPTION

Install GRUB on your drive.

print this message and exit
print the version information and exit
install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root directory
use FILE as the grub shell
do not probe any floppy drive
force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS
probe a device map even if it already exists

This option is unreliable and its use is strongly discouraged.

INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

grub-install copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by --root-directory, and uses the grub shell to install grub into the boot sector.
