[Bug 1300704] Re: error while grub install to /dev/sda

[Phillip Susi]

You are manually partitioning the disk and failed to create an efi
system partition.  To boot in EFI mode, you must have an EFI system
partition mounted in /boot/grub/efi.  If you do not wish to use efi,
then you must boot the cd in bios mode.
