  mkpart primary fat32 1MiB 500MiB
  mkpart primary ext4 500MiB 100%
  set 1 esp on
  set 2 legacy_boot on
  • create filesystems:
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx1

Reinstall GRUB: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=boot --recheck

Make drive BIOS bootable:

sudo dd if=/usrlib/syslinux/mbt/gptmbr.bin of=/dev/sdx bs=440 count=1
sudo rm /vmlinuz ; sudo ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) /vmlinuz
sudo rm /initrd.img ; sudo ln -s /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) /initrd.img
sudo apt install extlinux
sudo extlinux --install /boot
