Subject: grub-lnstall option (UEFI) for chainloading
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2015 13:11:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5517EBD8.8070901@zen.co.uk> (raw)

Hello,
Currently when installing grub2 on UEFI, the running system's grub2 
writes an entry to the ESP making it the controlling grub.

Can an option to grub2-install be added that installs only to 
/boot/grub2 and creates core.efi, but does *not* write into the ESP?

This would provide similar functionality to the --no-bootsector option 
used in PC-BIOS systems for using a Master grub partition that 
chainloads into multiple operating systems.
