Solved Grub2 issue Solved

[MatrixVector]

Following the documentation for install for amd64

Mysystem is using EFI method of booting the system

Windows is already installed on the system and say partition /dev/sda2 is the vfat efi partition

When using UEFI, users will need to add GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64" to make.conf before emerging GRUB2 so that the package will be built with EFI functionality:

root #echo GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64" >> /etc/portage/make.conf

ran this command verified the entry was added to make.conf

next

root #emerge --ask sys-boot/grub:2

I'm still in the directory on /usr/src/linux because just build the kernel documentation did not stat to move into another directory in the chrooted environment

reading ahead in the instructions lucky i seen it said you need to mount the boot partition first so i did that and ran command
When I go to Configuring GRUB 2
ran the command: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot

Getting message: (chroot) ubuntu / # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
bash: grub-install: command not found

Any Idea's on what i am doing wrong here?


(chroot) ubuntu / # nano -w /etc/fstab

(chroot) ubuntu / # df -h

Does grub2-install rather than grub-install work ?
