[bug#41560] [PATCH 2/8] bootloader: grub: Do not run grub-install when creating a disk-image. |

* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub): When creating a disk-image,
grub-install will fail because it lacks root permissions. In that case, do not
run grub-install and only copy Grub modules to the /boot directory.
