Initially I had a similar setup on one of my older machines. If the whole
disk is used as a PV there is no place for GRUB at all to embed the
core.img. If you really want to boot this system you could use a floppy or
USB stick to do that. Back then I created one big partition on each PV-disk
to solve this.

Kind regards,
