Actuall error is:

[root@manjaro /]# grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

Commit 43ccfbd should fix that. Anyway, we should add those flags automatically within partition module

Two more commits were needed to fix this: fe7c5bb, 9ac0fc3

I reverted it (0dadd19). On manual installations the user should take care of it. However, we can try to make it more user friendly by adding some auto routines to the partition module.
