Do you mean:

* Super Grub2 Disk (https://sourceforge.net/projects/supergrub2/)
* boot-repair-disk (https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/)
* System Rescue CD (http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/)
* GrubEFIReinstall (https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall)
* Ultimate Boot CD (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/)

*Exactly* what do you mean by "your-grub-boot-device"? Does it vary
depending on MBR vs UEFI?

So now you've installed Grub(2), but then how do you configure grub?

Do your instructions vary depending on MBR vs UEFI?
