This list is for grub development, user support questions should be sent to help-grub (which I've CCd in my reply). grub-install's --boot-directory option is for specifying the boot directory, grub-install's --efi-directory option is for specifying the directory which is the mountpoint for the EFI System Partition. Since this is a removable device, you probably don't want it as a semi permanent EFI boot entry, and you probably want other machines to be able to boot from it, so you should add the "--removable" option as well. Assuming that sdc1 is a proper EFI System Partition, mounted at /mnt/sdc1/, that gives you something like "sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/sdc1/boot/ --efi-directory=/mnt/sdc1/ --removable". The --efi-directory option requires grub 2.00 beta6 or newer. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
