Dual boot, LVM and GRUB

I am planning to dual boot Arch Linux (on LVM) with Windows 10 (which I just upgraded from Windows 7) on a BIOS/MBR system. I've consulted the Arch Wiki for this purpose, but I need to clear up some of my doubts. In the link https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Du … oot_loader, it says that GRUB should be installed in the /boot partition for Arch Linux rather than the MBR. Supposing my /boot partition for Arch Linux resides in the LVM, is it okay to install GRUB using the following?

grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/VolGroup00/boot

Here VolGroup00 is the name of my volume group. In case this does not work, should I keep the /boot partition outside of the LVM, and then install GRUB to it?

Re: Dual boot, LVM and GRUB

just go with /dev/sda... as long as the boot partition is mounted, grub install should figure it out on its own
