Ubuntu使用BIOS启动时, GPT分区表下安装grub2报错 的解决办法

报错信息如下:

root@fwhlin:/mnt# grub-install /dev/sdb
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for cross-disk install.
root@fwhlin:/mnt# 

This is fixed by creating a 2 MB partition on the 2 TB hard disk and setting its flag to “bios_grub”

Here “1” is the partition number for the 2 MB partition.

Now grub-install worked properly.

I set /dev/sdb as first boot device in BIOS and it booted perfectly.
