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. You could try manually executing the command On Tue, Sep 14, 2021 at 06:33:17PM -0400, Zacchaeus Scheffer wrote: > '/gnu/store/w8v5d1i6xfqlpj78w89jg1x7f8dchh4k-grub-efi-2.06/sbin/grub-install > --boot-directory /mnt/jake/boot --bootloader-id=Guix --efi-directory > /boot/efi' as if you were installing to a USB flash drive, by adding --removable and otherwise using exactly the same command. It might work, since you already have installed the system successfully except for the bootloader.

What do others think? Regards, Florian
