In my opinion the beginners guide is a mess, and should be cleaned up by pointing to the actual pages about the stuff that it is refering to and only include a few things about outliars. If you want to know how to install grub2 on a new install, why go to the beginners guide when you can go straight to the grub2 page which has much more information about grub2 than what the beginners guide describes
I noticed that too. Also, if you just follow the beginners guide without using the grub2 page, you end up installing grub2 wrong because the beginners guide omits the --target flag for grub-install. There should be links to: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub2#Install_to_440-byte_MBR_boot_code... for the most common install. Instead the beginners_guide just says to: grub-install /dev/sda which according to the grub2 wiki will result in the grub2 error on: "source_dir doesn't exist" I went ahead and updated the Beginners_Guide Configure the Bootloader section to point to the Grub2 wiki and added the additional grub-install flags recommended in the Grub2 page. - -- David C.
