Listmates,
New drive for my laptop so I dedicated it to Arch. Net install with 2009.08 went fine (although there really should be a warning when you leave install WITHOUT configuring the bootloader). [the /arch/setup menu autoadvances when you leave Configure System and if you click Done and downarrow anticipating moving to the next item, you can easily miss configuring the bootloader (I did ;-)]
arch is not, was not and will never be a hand-holding distro. if anyone doesn't pay attention and just skips steps it's that persons own problem imho. (in fact the interactive installer already does too much handholding)
Slightly off topic for the thread, but I hope the interactive installer doesn't go away. My skills aren't that far along yet. I was however at least smart enough not to think could skip steps ;) -- chris
