Proxmox 7.4-3
legacy system

It appears at some time I got the proxmox boot tool installed.. (haven't rebooted the server in a long long time)

When rebooted today, got the "proxmox grub unknown filesystem" at boot.
Got it running now with a 6.2 install version of rescue mode. yeah!

However, when I tried to install grub, I got the message: grub-install is disabled because this system is booted via proxmox-boot-tool, if you really need to run it, run /usr/sbin/grub-install.real

So looking at my partitions, I see there is no partitions that proxmox boot tool can use.

sda 8:0 0 119.2G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 60G 0 part zfs_member
└─sda2 8:2 0 59.2G 0 part zfs_member
sdd 8:48 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sdd1 8:49 0 1007K 0 part
├─sdd2 8:50 0 1.8T 0 part zfs_member
└─sdd9 8:57 0 8M 0 part
sde 8:64 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sde1 8:65 0 1007K 0 part
├─sde2 8:66 0 1.8T 0 part zfs_member
└─sde9 8:73 0 8M 0 part
sdf 8:80 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sdf1 8:81 0 1.8T 0 part zfs_member
└─sdf9 8:89 0 8M 0 part
sdg 8:96 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sdg1 8:97 0 1.8T 0 part zfs_member
└─sdg9 8:105 0 8M 0 part


So, it seems my two options are: Go back to the grub boot loader (Which I don't know how to do)

Or, resize some zfs member partitions and make some 512mg partitions for the proxmox boot tool.

Please advise as to what you guys would recommend.
