I mounted both efi which is 350mb , and boot which is ~118g to /mnt
lsblk shows both as I said above.
the command I am doing is
pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware
maybe my usb disk is too small? I got like 818m available.
#following the archwiki to install, got error while trying to do pacstrap

if you have uploaded images I cannot see them
also you are supposed to mount your root partition to /mnt to do pacstrap aren't you?
thats what the wiki says to do
thorny jolt
I mean... it says to mount the root, and then to create any remaining mount points? then it says to mount the rest. it seemed odd to mount a partition on another partition.
sense it said to mount to /mnt then mount the remaining on /mnt/efi and such...
thorny jolt
what about efi?
round geyser
don't worry about that. you are just doing the base install and you finish setting up your efi partition after you chroot into the new install.
thorny jolt
I'm confused

just follow the commands verbatim, mount only the root partition and then do the pacstrap command.

hench why I'm confused
You need to mount your esp then root partition. Then follow the guide

If they're mounting it to /boot then they need to do it before pacstrap

nono, I did /mnt/boot by mistake
well.. because it seemed weird to mount one thing on top of the other

The wiki is clear
thorny jolt
notice the flow of the guide,
- mount to /mnt
- mount to /mnt/efi
that means you mount to somwhere which is already a mount point, no?
grim light
run umount -R /mnt to unmount everything, mount your root partition to /mnt and your EFI partition to /mnt/boot
you need to create the mountpoint for the EFI partition
thorny jolt
can you explain the interaction there? because clearly something is happening

You have to make your partitions then mount it
Derp is Clear
thorny jolt
Yes. I understand that... I mean with mounting something on top of a mountpoint.

Just mount your esp to mnt/boot/EFI and your root to /mnt
thorny jolt
esp?

I'd recommended /mnt/boot though, as you have a 350mb EFI partiton

I am afraid of asking question I seem to be annoying...
Just follow the wiki

Ok seems to be working for now
