grub-install: Install GRUB on a BIOS system.
$ grub-install --target=${i386-pc} ${path-to-device}
try on your machine
The command grub-install --target=${i386-pc} ${path-to-device}
is used to install the GRUB bootloader onto a storage device, typically a hard drive or SSD. Here is an explanation of the command:
grub-install
: This is the command used to install the GRUB bootloader.--target=${i386-pc}
: This specifies the target platform or architecture for which GRUB should be installed. In this case, the target is set toi386-pc
, which refers to the 32-bit x86 PC architecture (also known as x86-32 or i386).${path-to-device}
: This represents the path to the storage device where you want to install GRUB. It should be replaced with the actual path to the device, such as/dev/sda
for the first hard drive.
So, when you execute this command with the appropriate target and device path, it will install GRUB onto the specified device, allowing it to act as the bootloader for your system.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
