+	  If you use genimage to generate your complete image,
+	  installing Grub can be tricky. Here is how to achieve Grub's
+	  installation with genimage:
+
+	  partition boot {
+	      in-partition-table = "no"
+	      image = "path_to_boot.img"
+	      offset = 0
+	      size = 512

+	  partition grub {
+	      in-partition-table = "no"
+	      image = "path_to_grub.img"
+	      offset = 512
+	  }
+
+	  The result is not byte to byte identical to what
+	  grub-bios-setup does but it works anyway.
