According to beginner's guide, grub-install /dev/sda <cr> is the next command and mk-grubconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg <cr> is the next command after that. On Sun, 5 Aug 2012, David C. Rankin wrote:
Guys,
One place the Installation_Guide could be improved is regarding the bootloader install and config. Currently the "Configure system" section has a circular-reference back to "Install a bootloader" section. It reads:
------------------------------------------------- Install a bootloader GRUB
For BIOS:
# pacstrap /mnt grub-bios
<snip>
Configure system ...
Configure the bootloader: refer back to the appropriate article from the bootloader installation section. -------------------------------------------------
Above, the reference back 'to the appropriate article from the bootloader installation section' sends the reader back to an area with NO additional information. It would be far better to simply refer the reader to:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide#Configure_the_bootlo...
or just include the bootloader config steps from Beginners_Guide. Bolding "Configure the bootloader:" would also help.
That will emphasize the fact that grub2 is not configured at this point and the user needs to complete grub-install and grub-mkconfig before rebooting. Especially for user seeing grub2 for the first time with an install from the new 2012 media.
That's just a suggestion for readability. Thanks.
