buildroot new fs can't install grub2

I'm traing to use buildroot and compile new embedded system for testing. Everything looks ok I use last kernel 4.9.16 and buildroot is from 02.2017. After compiling I can't install grub2 there's now grub software on new root file system and second there's now bash in /bin and anywhere? There's only ash shell. It's weird because the same procedure I made on mint 17 couple days ago and it works like a charm. I changed disk in my laptop and now I'm using fresh manjaro. I don't think this could be a problem because when I compile new system I can't chose bash in menu but I chose grub2 as bootloader.

Regarding bash: Buildroot by default only installs Busybox, which provides a more minimalistic shell called ash, which is sufficient for most purposes. If you really need bash, you can also get it by enabling it in the Buildroot menuconfig.

Regarding grub2, please have a look at the help text of the Grub2 option in Buildroot, it explains how to install it.
