Hi... I did a couple quick searches just to see if anything popped. My
first one using your words landed one result.. this thread.... The
second fairly targeted search only pulled up ~570.

What might help the list help you is to know something about your
setup. Most specifically, it would help if they know the exact command
you're using. Beyond that, maybe how your hard drive and partition(s)
is/are set up.

Without actually entering any webpages, I saw a couple references to
users specifically requesting "grub-install dummy".. so that's why I
ask. I've never heard of "dummy" for this. That only means that the
most I've ever needed for my usage is "grub-install /dev/sda" (or
/dev/sdb, etc). :)

After thinking on it a few more seconds before sending this out, I
tried this search:

error "grub-install dummy"

That landed something potentially useful from Kali's message boards:

https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?35926-Executing-grub-install-dummy-failed&s=d8cf37f9fee08ca29b2ec7aeda842ae0&p=77478#post77478

If that doesn't jump down to the quote, Comment #40 sounds pretty
interesting and rational. Am posting in case that also triggers any
related do/do nots, too. Good luck... :)

Cindy :)
