DESCRIPTION
       grub-install  installs  GRUB  onto a device.  This includes copying GRUB images into the target directory
       (generally /boot/grub), and on some platforms may also include installing GRUB onto a boot sector.


OPTIONS
       --modules=MODULES
	      Pre-load modules specified by MODULES.

       --directory=DIR
	      Use images and modules in DIR.
