The handbook suggests to mount the boot and root partitions before entering the chroot environment. Nevertheless, as the gentoo wiki suggests (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2/Troubleshooting#Installing_GRUB2_from_within_a_chroot) the boot partition should be mounted AFTER entering in the chroot environment. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installing gentoo from a chroot environment following the handbook. 2. 3. Actual Results: # grub2-install /dev/sda Installing for i386-pc platform. grub2-install: error: failed to get canonical path of «/boot/grub». Expected Results: # grub2-install /dev/sda Installing for i386-pc platform. Ha acabat la instal·lació. No s'ha reportat cap error. (no errors message)
