[PATCH v2 01/18] docs/grub: grub-install is no longer a shell script


From: Daniel Axtens
Subject: [PATCH v2 01/18] docs/grub: grub-install is no longer a shell script

the user manual, so just drop it.

 On EFI systems for fixed disk install you have to mount EFI System Partition.
 If you mount it at @file{/boot/efi} then you don't need any special arguments:
