Hello guys,
Today I installed a SSD on my notebook and ran the full and net install of Debian 9.4, both came with no GRUB, booting the ssd gets me a minimal bash grub.
I tried going to my HDD Debian and running the sudo grub-install /dev/sdb but didn't work.
Would appreciate some help.

SSD installation has no GRUB
Re: SSD installation has no GRUB
It's ok. People will probably want more info, and maybe even some more info after you give more info. I don't understand "minimal bash grub" so if there are informational or error msg then post them. It's a really poor problem dexcription, because you didn't mention what type of machine, medium used to install... etc. Please ask smart questions.
Three short sentences to describe this problem, and you would really appreciate some help? Wow, just wow.

The Debian installer doesn't ask about GRUB for UEFI systems.vitorfhc wrote:Today I installed a SSD on my notebook and ran the full and net install of Debian 9.4, both came with no GRUB
Try adding the --removable flag to the `grub-install` command, this will copy the .efi loader to $ESP/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI and allow the drive to be booted in the absence of any motherboard NVRAM boot entries.running the sudo grub-install /dev/sdb but didn't work.
EDIT: presuming that you have an ESP on the SDD ofc.
If there are any problems, post back with the output requested by bw123 and also

Re: SSD installation has no GRUB
Debian installer may not ask about grub, but at least on my 4 UEFI-based machines, it consistently installs grub by default (Wheezy, Jessie, Stretch). Which makes OP's problem even more mysterious. But it looks like OP has already lost interest.The Debian installer doesn't ask about GRUB for UEFI systems.

Re: SSD installation has no GRUB
It could be that the OP's motherboard "forgets" the added NVRAM boot entry for the removable drive, I have a machine that does this and I've posted in many threads in which a similar problem occurred.tynman wrote:it consistently installs grub by default (Wheezy, Jessie, Stretch).

In fairness to the OP I said to post back only if there was a problem so my suggestion might have worked.it looks like OP has already lost interest
@OP: if so, please mark the thread [SOLVED].
