--boot-directory=/liveos --force

/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot 
Partition; embedding won't be possible!.
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be 
installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are 
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
Installation finished. No error reported.
