Bloody Docs for installing Arch Linux

Afer booting into the hell

If you're inside an Virtualbox eenvironment, make sure SSH is enabled and setup port forwarding stuff. Don't forget changing the root password for live environment with something like linussextips69 (DON'T USE THAT ON OTHER APPS!)

Create partitons then format with ext4. If desired to seperate /home from the rest of the Arch install, create seperate partitions and mount it as /mnt/home.
Afer mounting the target partition and other stuff, run pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware nano git zsh grub to bootstrap the Arch Linux base.
Generate fstabs with genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

Now, chroot into target partition with arch-chroot /mnt.

Inside the chroot environment

VirtualBox-specific setup

Install virtualbox-guest-utils

GRUB Bootloader

If you ever do multibooting, please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Detecting_other_operating_systems for more detailed docs.

BIOS/CSR mode:

# Change sda into device name for your target hard drive/SSD
grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda; grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

UEFI/EFI, Secure Boot disabled:

# Change sda into device name for your target hard drive/SSD
grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda; grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

With Secure Boot:

Final Steps

Exit the chroot and reboot. Don't forget to remove the installation media before the reboot.
