Initial Setup

Some of this needs executed as root, so it's probably easier to do the whole things as root.

fdisk /dev/sdX

o,n,t,c

mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1 mkdir boot mount /dev/sdX1 boot

Create and mount the ext4 filesystem:

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2 mkdir root mount /dev/sdX2 root

Download and extract the root filesystem (as root, not via sudo):

wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-3-latest.tar.gz

tar zxvf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-3-latest.tar.gz -C root

sync

Move boot files to the first partition:

mv root/boot/* boot Unmount the two partitions: umount boot root

echo [ hostname ] > /etc/hostname

Then edit the /etc/hosts file.


<ip-address>		<hostname.domain.org>	<hostname>
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain	localhost
::1			localhost.localdomain	localhost ip6-localhost

Get audio on

echo dtparam=audio=on >> /boot/config.txt

Start pacman keyring.

pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm

pacman -Syyu base-devel git alsa-utils xf86-video-fbdev
