[Bug 1703017] Re: grub install failed

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to /dev/sda, which is partitioned with GPT.
To boot a BIOS booting computer from a GPT disks requires a 1 mb
bios_grub partition.  You will either need to create such a partition,
or install grub to another disk that is partitioned with MBR.
