Install to /mnt as root (provided you have a working pacman.conf in .)

That's it, all you need to do is configure the system (you need to know how) and install a bootloader. I did this recently and the system worked (it was a test system though, it's not in any productive use).

There will be _some_ errors from scriptlets in the beginning, but those should be fine - you can paste the output here in case you are unsure.

Forgot something: It might be a good idea to run those commands before you start: mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
