I would like to create a USB with GRUB bootloader (or other) and Kali which can be used on any machine (alongside the main os already installed ). I've installed Kali on a USB (64 GB) stick and everything went just fine
Just a note: I've used another USB stick which had the ISO file on it during the installation . I've created two partitions like that:
/partition: 57.5 GB
swap: 3.5 GB as a swap area
In the end of the installation I've got a prompt that everything went fine, and the installation completed. The prompt said I should reboot my computer and start using Kali. but when I restarted my computer, I couldn't see any bootloader window, and I couldn't see my Kali in the UEFI devices list at the bios as well. Why is that? And How can I boot up my Kali?
I've tried to install grub using a kali live session, as described here.
But after entering this command:
grub-install /dev/sdd (dev/sdd is my USB stick )
I've got the message:
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
Which is kind of make sense because I dont have an EFI partition.I just want to be 100% sure before I do anything.
In order to be able to boot up my Kali-linux from GRUB bootloader?
Should I create a /boot/efi partition or something like that during the installation?

Ok, thanks. Should I create a /boot partition? because as I mentioned, right now I dont have one. When I run the command you've mentioned I getgrub-install: error: /boot/efi doesn't look like an EFI partition.

You have to mount the boot partion created while installing. If you losed yor /boot you will have to recreate it from inside of chroot
