The grub2 wiki page is wrong then? It gives /sbin/grub-setup in the bios section.
It was /sbin/grub-setup in grub2-common 1.99, it is now /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup in grub-common 2.00 . grub-setup -> grub-bios-setup renaming was by upstream and /sbin to /usr/sbin move was done by Arch devs. Due to grub's build system and our packaging, grub-bios-setup is part of grub-common and not grub-bios . Even when it was grub-setup it was not used in UEFI installs.

Don't forget to change the subject line to mark it as solved.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
]]>BTW, how many dogs is too many?
Well, when I picked the username we had four, and it was definitely too many. Now we only have two (long story) but we still have too many cats...
(and if I didn't notice from your username, I would have noticed your avatar)
]]>BTW, how many dogs is too many?
Edit: Because, you may have noticed from my username, but I like dogs.

I also do not have Grub2 installed so I can't check, but I would not change the wiki page just yet.

I think that this is the case. See here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … Guide#GRUB . Seeing as I am not a grub user, and you are (even if you are not a grub-bios user), maybe you should update it, as your authority on the matter is more legitimate than mine.

cfr, I think you mean "grub-install", not "grub-setup".
Well, the OP mentioned "grub-setup". That's what confused me. And pkgfile found nothing for it. But I checked the wiki and it seems to use grub-setup for grub-bios so I assumed it was part of that package. I only have grub-install but then I'm using EFI.

Yeah wouldn't install grub ot sda1 was just following what I read and to install it on "/dev/sda" is this not correct or better way to go about it? I'm just tempted to get rid of my Windows 7 partition and using linux as my main OS.
Grub usually gets installed in /dev/sda.
Then the bootloader from windows gets chainloaded.
Getting rid of windows, means you get rid of all the bugs on the windows.
With each new release of windows, gets a little scarrier: Windows 7 might be last enjoyable version before Windows 8. Run for your hard drives!
I'm honestly bored of Windows there's only so much you can learn and know before it becomes redundant. Windows 8 looks like a load of crap. Are there even any people who are excited for it lol? But seriously on topic it's time to expand my knowledge on different operating systems this making the move fully to Linux and leaving windows in the past. I just need to get this blocklist problem sorted when I install grub to my /dev/sda partition. Any advice on how to sort this?
