✏️ Editing: 630_install_grub.sh

# This script is an improvement over the default grub-install '(hd0)'
#
# However the following issue still exists:
#
#  * We don't know what the first disk will be, so we cannot be sure the MBR
#    is written to the correct disk(s). That's why we make all suitable disks bootable.

# Skip if another boot loader is already installed
# (then $NOBOOTLOADER is not a true value cf. finalize/default/010_prepare_checks.sh):
is_true $NOBOOTLOADER || return 0

# For UEFI systems with grub legacy with should use efibootmgr instead,
# but if BOOTLOADER is explicitly set to GRUB, we are on a hybrid (BIOS/UEFI)
# boot system and we need to install GRUB to MBR as well.
# Therefore, we don't test $USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER.

# If the BOOTLOADER variable (read by finalize/default/010_prepare_checks.sh)
# is not "GRUB" (which means GRUB Legacy) skip this script (which is only for GRUB Legacy)
# because finalize/Linux-i386/660_install_grub2.sh is for installing GRUB 2
# and finalize/Linux-i386/650_install_elilo.sh is for installing elilo:
test "GRUB" = "$BOOTLOADER" || return 0

# If the BOOTLOADER variable is "GRUB" (which means GRUB Legacy)
# we could in principle trust that and continue because
# layout/save/default/445_guess_bootloader.sh (where the value has been set)
# is now able to distinguish between GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2.
# But, as this code used to support the value "GRUB" for GRUB 2,
# the user can have BOOTLOADER=GRUB set explicitly in the configuration file
# and then it overrides the autodetection in layout/save/default/445_guess_bootloader.sh .
# The user expects this setting to work with GRUB 2, thus for backward compatibility
# we need to take into accout the possibility that GRUB actually means GRUB 2.
