Synopsis
setup [options]install_device[image_device]
Set up installation of GRUB and run the install command to actually install GRUB onto the device install_device. Find the GRUB images on image_device if it is specified; otherwise use the current root device as set by the root command. If install_device is a hard disk, embed a Stage 1.5 file in the disk if possible.
Options
- --force-lba
Force install to use LBA mode. Specify this option if your BIOS supports LBA mode but you find that GRUB isn’t working in LBA mode without it.
- --prefix=dir
Specify the directory where the GRUB images are located. If not specified, GRUB searches for them in /boot/grub and /grub.
- --stage2=os_stage2_file
Passed to install to tell GRUB the operating system name of the Stage 2 file.
