#Choosing and installing a bootloader for Arch
27 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
So can you help me install it? I guess I'm currently using uefi system, regard of what in my photo
hold on. pulling up the wiki
whats the output of lsblk? just want to see the partitions, so i know which is which
i assume the first partition is going to be mounted under /boot?
no. i meant sdb1
Should be /boot/efi
Where are what distros now
not that relevant i would think http://uploads.jorgen-10.no/CUJiH1vlaZf0
Why do you have sdb3 at /
and yes. im using uefi boot
If he's sharing it between distros then you don't want kernels there
ah.
This is just completely wrong, you're in the installer and have sdb3 mounted at / instead of /mnt assuming that's where you want to install arch
Please practice installing arch in a vm before installing it on hw
i remember accidentally triple booting the pc of a friend of mine. it had ubuntu and windows, and then i installed arch on it. mounting it under /boot and installing grub just stopped the other bootloaders which didnt break anything as all things booted properly through that one efi partition
Ok so what do i do now?
lsblk just to double check
You boot mint, install a virtual machine management program like gnome-boxes or virt-manager, and then practice there
actually. nevermind what i said. do this ^
So what do i do with the sdb3 partition?
You can leave it like it's now and then when you start installing arch you can reformat it or delete existing files, assuming that's where you want to install arch
