I would like to install GRUB on a LVM volume, which will be later exported via iSCSI to a VMware server. Then, a virtualized system will be running off this device; the virtual system will see this device as a /dev/sda (SCSI).


Unfortunately, installing GRUB on LVM does not seem to be that easy:

# grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/2/boot/ /dev/san2_data/test01
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Unknown partition table signature
/dev/mapper/san2_data-test01 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.


Do you have any hints on how to install GRUB on a LVM volume, which will be later /dev/sda?
