Hi all,
I am trying to install arch to a efi system and got as far as the configure the packages but grub install is whare I am stuck. First off, in the wiki it says to mount the efi partition, but it doesn't say whare to mount it to. Secondly, I run the following to install grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/dev/sda1 --bootloader-id=GRUB and get the following error. something about unable to get the udev. What am I missing? Would something rong? The wiki artical s a bit confusing.
Thanks.
The EFI partition is usually mounted to /boot on arch systems, although /boot/efi is another common place. The grub wiki page says "substitute esp with its mount point". /dev/sda1 is the device, not the mount point.
