Research direction

Find the Full Disk Encryption section near the end of the documentation and inspect the existing grub-install command for BIOS/MBR installation. Add the UEFI command shown in the issue, then verify the rendered page clearly distinguishes the two installation paths.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Near the end. the comand to install grub reflects only an installation bios/mbr and will not work on uefi systems. A second comand reflecting uefi install should exit.
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id="Void" --recheck --removable
