Hey! So im working on an install of arch on my new laptop, and ive reached the point the the wiki where we create the patitions, setting up the boot patition with cfdik (because i like tui) im not sure what patition type to choose for boot, ive allocated 1gb
Ive made 8gb swap (with 16 gb ram) and the rest for linux fs, still not sure bout boot tho
Is it just an EFI patition type?

Wiki says 300 MB for EFI but I'm using 64M as EFI partition and it's works.
cfdisk /dev/partition, type should be in EFI partition if you are using bios. Then
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n (name) /dev/partition.
It should work.

I don't think there is a size requirement for the ESP, as long as you can fit your bootloader + kernels in it.
If you store your kernels elsewhere like on your root partition then it can be very small. The only thing on my ESP is Grub, so I'm only using 282K of space on it.

It's just EFI system partition. And 512 MiB will do for it.
