I am in disk configuration on archinstall (I pressed pre mounted config) and I wrote /mnt as the root mount directory, It picked that up as well as my ext4 partition after that but it says boot partition not found
I mounted the ext4 partition there and the boot 500mb partition in /mnt/boot/efi
but it only asks me for the boot partition

boot partition must be /boot if using systemd-boot

otherwise, use grub

#

but also

#

idk if archinstall would support

archinstall does have grub

#

so I can do so

neat heronBOT Nov 24, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

so maybe just /boot

#

would support /boot/efi

[Reply to:](#1177717141793931284 message) archinstall does have grub

#

btw

#

you dont need 500M for /boot/efi

#

16M is fine

#

i would do 64 prolly

neat heronBOT Nov 24, 2023, 9:26 PM

#

past plover Nov 24, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

boot is fat32 and root is ext4

neat heronBOT Nov 24, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

oh i think archinstall has an option to set a partition as boot

past plover Nov 24, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

I cannot seem to find one

neat heronBOT Nov 24, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

huh...

#

is there like partitin type or

past plover Nov 24, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

So if I do /mnt then it discovers both the boot and root fs's but gives me the error message

past plover Nov 24, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

neat heron is there like partitin type or

neat heronBOT Nov 24, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

#

#

one moment

#

that works but

#

it does not give me the root fs

#

so it might not find it

#

and it does not let me add it

neat heronBOT Nov 24, 2023, 9:41 PM
