install grub legacy

Hi every body, I have just bought a new desktop pc, I have installed archlinux and at the end of the installation I give the command :

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi/ --bootloader-id=Arch --boot-directory=/boot/efi/ --debug

when I reboot I got the message that there is not partition to boot ... insert and press enter !!
i spend a lot of time proceeding in this way , during this try I take care to have mounted fat32 partition in /boot/efi  and i verified that the grub (named arch) was created! but after reboot .. got the same message!

In order to works with the new installation of arch I had due installing linux mint in an empty partition to get the grub (I hate my self )
may you give me some explanation about ehy ? what I wrong ??

EDIT :

I have change the topic now the problem is install grub-legacy

grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
