Are these the instructions I am looking for?
1. Boot the system from an installation boot medium. (live CD/DVD/USB)
2. Type linux rescue at the installation boot prompt to enter the
rescue environment.
3. mkdir /mnt/sysimage
4. mount /dev/sda10 /mnt/sysimage
5. mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/sysimage/boot
6. mount --bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev
7. mount --bind /proc /mnt/sysimage/proc
8. mount --bind /sys /mnt/sysimage/sys
9. chroot /mnt/sysimage # root partition.
10. grub2-install /dev/sda9 # boot partition.
11. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
12. Review the /etc/grub.d/10_linux
