A brief Arch installation in VMware

Simply record the installation of the November arch experience under VMware.

I'm not sure what the total partition table should be used for VMware and how to start it ... The vague is to divide the GPT ...

Body

In general, ISO provides a small arch Linux, in this environment to install the Arch Linux to the PC, in the entry to the PC Arch completed a certain installation

Installation boot is setup environment (language, time zone), installation system

0. Set the ISO arch environment:

Because keyboard, language or something is in fact the default, the network is the virtual machine local link, no configuration

1. Partitioning:

In the test installation, there is no swap, root directory +boot? Do not know for what reason, in the subsequent installation,

Grub-install can not find/boot/grub, follow the wiki tutorial I divided a section of about 1Mb, code for EF02

The partitioning tool was started with Fdisk, and was later patched using Gdisk, and I thought there was a graphical interface ... There's no use for Fdisk.

Then the/dev/sda1,2 was modified by the MKFS.EXT4 command.

2. Installation:

Pacstrap Install base devel package after hanging on/mnt/mnt/boot with mount command

After the installation, the MNT has a new arch system.

Then we need to genfstab command to generate a partition table? (is the device corresponding file?)

3. Setting up the environment:

Set the language of what UTF-8, the network does not need to configure ...

4. Install the boot:

Grub guided ... It should be good to hit a few clicks with the order.

But because some of the previous partitions did not do well, I deleted the/dev/sda1 (boot) caused vimlinuxz this thing lost ...

Last word hint, then knock pacstrap/mnt Linux install kernel?

It's probably going to restart grub boot into the shell.
