[Bug 1659739] Re: grub would not install probably my mistaken placement of grub.

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to a disk that is partitioned with GPT, but
are trying to install in BIOS mode instead of EFI mode.  You either need
to install in EFI mode and create an EFI system partition on that disk (
if one does not already exist ), or continue to install in bios mode but
create a 1 mb bios_grub partition, or install grub to an MBR partitioned
disk instead, and make sure your bios is set to boot from that disk.
