+ Using genimage
+ --------------
+
+ If you use genimage to generate your complete image,
+ installing Grub can be tricky. Here is how to achieve Grub's
+ installation with genimage:
+
+ partition boot {
+ in-partition-table = "no"
+ image = "path_to_boot.img"
+ offset = 0
+ size = 512
+ }
+ partition grub {
+ in-partition-table = "no"
+ image = "path_to_grub.img"
+ offset = 512
+ }
+
+ The result is not byte to byte identical to what
+ grub-bios-setup does but it works anyway.
