Topic: How do I get grub to install properly on full disc encryption tutorial

So i followed this tutorial for full disk encryption, as to test it im doing this in a vm before i put this on my laptop.
https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … and_reboot
The problem is that nowhere it says how to install grub to I followed the basic installation tutorial and did grub-install /dev/sda
https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … ase_system

The problem is when I run grub-install /dev/sda it gives me two errors before halting.
"warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding wont be possible"
"error: embedding is not possible, but is required for RAID and LVM install"

This is on a legacy boot because my old macbook laptop doesnt work with efi i think, and I did also try efi boot and it said something about an efi folder missing.

Id appreciate any help asap because itd be nice to get this on my macbook (secondary laptop) because it ubuntu broke recently

Re: How do I get grub to install properly on full disc encryption tutorial

which macbook is it? is it the 2.1 or 1.1?

Just curious...

Also, i usually use dos format for /dev/sda or w/e is hard disk.

Wish you the best though!
