"grub2-install /dev/sda1" would put the grub loader into the boot
sector of the first partition (possibly your /boot or /
filesystem)--NOT the MBR of the drive.

The machine boots from the MBR of the first drive. That's why you use
"/dev/sda" and not "/dev/sda1" (put the boot on the MBR of the drive,
not the partition).
