This generally indicates that you're not booted in UEFI mode. You can also look in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars; if that folder is empty, same answer. Reboot into UEFI mode to do your grub setup. One easy way to tell if you're booting the CRUX install media in UEFI mode is that the boot loader is grub. If it's BIOS/CSM mode, the boot loader is syslinux. Hope this helps, Matt

I don't know about uefi but I got that message when I tried to grub-install /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda. It needed the device itself, not a partition, to put the boot sector on. -Daryl
