It looks like grub-install does most what I need, maybe followed by a 
grub-update for good measure.

But getting things set up correctly before is a bit tricky. Particularly 
once the boot partitions on my SSD went south, I'm running from a live 
"CD", and I needed to "mount --rbind" /dev, /proc, and /sys into the 
dead system's file system, then chroot into it?and do it there.


I'm worried my new SSD (in my new computer) has problems. Twice I have 
had my /boot/efi vfat fule system get broken in such a way that it 
wouldn't fsck back to health. The good news is I'm getting good at 
rebuilding it, and have my notes in git and pushed to another system for 
reference.


Thanks,
