Ok.
I have tried /dev/nvme1n1, /dev/nvme1n1p1 (the ESP
partition) and /dev/nvme1n1p2 (the boot partition) all with the same
result: The rescue operation 'grub-reinstall' failed with exit code 1
Weird, installing in /dev/nvme1n1 should be possible even without a BIOS
boot partition if you have a plain /boot partition. You can check the
full grub-install error message in the installer log (tty4 or
/var/log/syslog from tty2 or tty3).
However it is strongly recommended to have a BIOS boot partition when
installing GRUB for legacy boot on GPT. 1MB is plenty enough.
