GRUB-INSTALL(8)			      FSF		       GRUB-INSTALL(8)

NAME
       grub-install - install GRUB on your drive

SYNOPSIS
       grub-install [OPTION] install_device

DESCRIPTION
       Install GRUB on your drive.

       -h, --help
	      print this message and exit

       -v, --version
	      print the version information and exit

       --root-directory=DIR
	      install  GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root
	      directory

       --grub-shell=FILE
	      use FILE as the grub shell

       --no-floppy
	      do not probe any floppy drive

       --force-lba
	      force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS

       --recheck
	      probe a device map even if it already exists

       INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

       grub-install copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by
       --root-directory, and uses the grub shell to install grub into the boot
       sector.

       The grub source distribution carries this script to ease the  installa‐
       tion of grub as a boot loader. In Suse Linux however, grub installation
       is much better handled by Yast; use of this script  is  generally  dis‐
       couraged	 and  therefore unsupported. Consequently, the script has been
       renamed to grub-install.unsupported.

       In order to (re-)install grub for the currently running system,	simply
       use  Yast. For an installation aiming at a differing system, the craft‐
       ing of an appropriate device.map and  grub  shell  script  is  strongly
       advised,	 e.g.	"grub  --batch	--device-map=target-device.map	< tar‐
       get-grub.conf"

SEE ALSO
       The full documentation for grub-install is maintained as a Texinfo man‐
       ual.   If  the info and grub-install programs are properly installed at
       your site, the command

	      info grub-install

       should give you access to the complete manual.
