Use pacstrap to get the base install.

> grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda
For EFI:
> sudo pacman -S efibootmgr
> mkdir /boot/efi
> grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --remmovable

unsure about this bit - is this name just for the loadkeys function?
Make a hostname
2020-01-02 00:04:35 +00:00
> echo pc > /etc/hostname
2020-01-02 00:04:35 +00:00
Set hostnames for network, or at least your own.
> vi /etc/hosts
# This should have the following, at least:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.1.1 [hostname].localdomain [hostname]
If the system has a permanent IP address, it should be used instead of localhost.
Ping some sites to make sure the network's working
> passwd
> exit
> umount -R /mnt

Remove that awful beep sound:
2020-01-02 00:04:35 +00:00
> rmmod pcspkr
2023-05-27 16:58:51 +00:00
...and make the change permanent:
> sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf
