Just create a new partition before the 2048 sector to use as a grub bios_grub partition. For example: sudo gdisk /dev/sda p = print n = new partition number = 2 start sector = 34 (or as close to zero as you can get) end sector = 2047 code = EF02 then s to sort the partitions and w to write it back to disk then you should be able to run grub-install on the device. When you have done this properly, you should see things like this: $ for a in /dev/sd?; do sudo gdisk -l $a; done; [...] Disk /dev/sd?: 5860533168 sectors, 2.7 TiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes [...] Total free space is 911 sectors (455.5 KiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 34 2047 1007.0 KiB EF02 2 2048 5860532223 2.7 TiB FD00 GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0 or similar.
