grub-install /dev/nvme0n1

After rebooting, the system can not find boot disk.

fstab:
/dev/nvme0n1p2  /boot   ext2noauto,noatime  1 2 
/dev/nvme0n1p4  /   ext4noatime 0 1
/dev/nvme0n1p3  noneswapsw  0 0
 
fdisk -l

Do I need to go to "vfat" for /boot partition?
Why isn't it working?

I removed "vfat" boot partition and created/change it to ext2

But now when i try to install grub:

grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p2
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed 
in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and 
their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

Is it something that is going to create problem?
