I try 

% grub2-install /dev/sda.    (There is no grub-install)

/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: this LDM has no Embedding
Partition; embedding won't be possible.

/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not
possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using
blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is
discouraged.

/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks again!
Ranjan
