You have typed no space between the command 'grub-install' and t= he device.

Do you have a "/dev/boot" device listed in = your filesystem?

If yes, is it pointing to the disk (e.g.) /dev/= sda where you want the GRUB
boot code to be installed?

Check your device
map" I looked at the /boot partition = and there is no device map.
