sdb being a usb live to install ArchLinux.



I have access to WAN through wifi.



I have tried to make my different partitions like so, before reseting :




  • nvme0n1p1 for /


  • sda1 for a supposed bootable space (tried with MBR, but nothing on it I guess) (fdisk +1G, a)


  • sda2 for swap (fdisk +8G)


  • sda3 for home (fdisk default).

then mount nvme0n1p1 on /mnt then sda3 on /mnt/home before using pacstrap /mnt base ; genfstab -L >> /mnt/etc/fstab to install the system and save the conf.



But in the end, the computer does not see any bootable space, so I reset said partitions after that.

  • Your disks have GPT partition tables, so I guess it has UEFI firmware. Bear this in mind when reading the installation guide. Some fdisk programs know how to handle GPT partitions, some versions do not. To be on the safe side, use gdisk instead.
