With ordinary configuration, I believe installing GRUB EFI for use on another computer is impossible, because grub install for EFI wants to store boot information on the main board’s NVRAM, not on the disk. Except when installing on a USB flash drive using the --removable option, that is.

It might work, since you already have installed the system successfully except for the bootloader. This is in imitation of what the GRUB manual says: > For removable installs you have to use --removable and specify both --boot-directory and --efi-directory: > > # grub-install --efi-directory=/mnt/usb --boot-directory=/mnt/usb/boot --removable I’m not sure enough of what can be done, but I believe this bug is a WONTFIX. What do others think?

The solution for this is already available in the patch series in = . The new = grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader can be used for this. Technically there is no big difference between an installation to boot = from network or from local storage. For booting from network two = symlinks are needed, which can=E2=80=99t be created on an EFI System = Partition with its FAT file system. In the later case a small = intermediate grub.cfg is created, which allows booting from local = storage.
