Let's see. I have done it two ways, depending on the machine. /boot is a
separate partition, and /boot is part of / while /boot/EFI is a
separate. I'll post both.
/boot is EFI partition:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot

I see your problem, I think. You don't have your ESP mounted, so
grub can't write the EFI files to it. You are likely trying to use
grub with grub-install /dev/sda. That won't work for EFI.
