1) There was a second question in the dialogue relating to NVRAM - unsure of
response I pressed No.
If you select "no", grub-install will not update the EFI boot entries
(default is "yes"). If the UEFI firmware is broken and ignores EFI boot
entries, it does not matter. This option is useful when the UEFI
firmware is even more broken and hangs when writing the NVRAM.
Would that be the cause of the message "Warning: os-prober ..."
No, this message is printed by update-grub (grub-mkconfig) and depends
on GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER in /etc/default/grub.
2) /boot now has a new drop of the related grub-efi-amd64 files - but this
is not "removable media path"
What do yo mean exactly ?
Is it a simple case of copying the contents of /boot/grub to the usb pen
drive that was used to kick start the main install?
(would this over write the removable media /boot/grub?
"Removable media path" has nothing to do with a removable media such as
a USB drive. It designates a reserved path /efi/boot/boot{arch}.efi in
any EFI system partition which can be booted without an EFI boot entry,
so it is used as a workaround when the firmware does not manage EFI boot
entries correctly.
