Hi,

* archlinux-2009.01-beta3-core-i686.iso (sha1sum verified OK)
* Virtualbox 2.1.2 (SATA HD)
* GRUB
* installation command: /arch/setup (base system only)
* (manual partition) [sda1 / ext4] [sda5 /var ext4] [sda6 /home ext4]
[sda3 swap]
* { It contains old bash-3.2.048-2, glibc-2.9-2, and texinfo-4.13a-1 in
/src/core/pkg :(
      Only the "live-root-fs" is update with these packages.
      Have the archiso-early problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13049
   }

Installed system boot OK ;)


* archlinux-2009.01-beta3-core-x86_64.iso (sha1sum verified OK)
* Virtualbox 2.1.2 (SATA HD)
* GRUB
* installation command: /arch/setup (base system only)
* (manual partition) [sda1 / ext4] [sda5 /var ext4] [sda6 /home ext4]
[sda3 swap]

      **** GRUB FAIL (setup reports OK) it uses grub-gfx (grub-install
reference to /sbin/grub not /mnt/sbin/grub ) that fails in x86_64 ****
   }

To solve the GRUB problem when setup is finished, i executed:
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab ## df command need this, otherwise it fails
and grub not installed.
grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda
exit
umount /mnt/dev
umount /mnt/proc
reboot

Installed system boot OK ;)
