When upgrading existing installations using grub, make sure to update the installed bootloader before rebooting, otherwise your machine might not boot.

Here are some examples for various situations assuming default setups. Don't blindly copy these examples but verify what's applicable to your system.

Afterwards, run the update-grub command to update the grub configuration:

# update-grub

BIOS

For BIOS systems (x86 or x86_64)

# grub-install --boot-directory=/boot --target=i386-pc $disk

disk: The block device grub has been installed to.

EFI

# grub-install --target=$target --efi-directory="$efi_directory" \ --bootloader-id=alpine --boot-directory="/boot --no-nvram # install -D $efi_directory/EFI/alpine/grub$fwa.efi $efi_directory/EFI/boot/boot$fwa.efi

target: The relevant target for your system
