Comments/Problems:
Problem occurs when /boot is on btrfs (in this particular case, there is just
a single btrfs filesystem)
grub-install /dev/sda
fails, because it does not see the btrfs filesystem
This is because /proc is not mounted. So there is an easy workaround:
Once it fails, ask a shell; mount /proc:
mount -t proc proc /target/proc
and resume the install, grub will then complete successfully.
As a side note, as long as there is no fsck.btrfs the system will not boot
if root is on brtfs as the fsck pass will fail.
So for btrfs it would be good to set the root fs in fstab in 'pass 0' to
skip the check:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=.... / btrfs defaults 0 0
