How can I find where Grub2 is installed?
This is my current disk partitioning (if it matters, I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed)
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x34fe34fd
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 63 205404159 205404097 98G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

I can only see a single partition labelled as bootable, and I'm pretty sure that sda1 was bootable as well (it contained a Windows installation, but I had to wipe it out and now is empty).
After I will have reinstalled Windows, I will need to run grub2-reboot
to restore it, but I don't know how can I find where it is installed currently (i.e. sda
or sda3
).
Is there a command that can show me this information? And, ultimately, does this matters, or I can reinstall wherever I like?
