Did the install finish & you can not start Kali because of no MBR?

If so you could boot from the iso just run the live version & you can do a manual install of grub from terminal. Just check your drive, mount, chroot, install grub, unmount.

1. fdisk -l
2. sudo mount /dev/sda* /mnt
3. sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
4. sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
5. sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
6. sudo chroot /mnt
7. grub-install /dev/sda
8. CTRL+D
9. sudo umount /mnt/dev
10 sudo umount /mnt/proc
11 sudo umount /mnt/sys
12 sudo umount /mnt

No install took place, says cannot install due to no MBR record file found (for installing)
