I think the installation instructions are not working.
First, there is still a vaguness in the instructions. If you use
cfdisk, as it instructs, you end up with a GPT partion. That partioning
scheme has specific requirements, which is not specific on the arch
site link or the artix site.
It is just not clear if one needs UEFI with GPT or not and if you need
an empty boot segment in front of the partition which is empty.
I installed the kernel into /boot/vmlinuz-linux which is a seperate
partition /dev/sda1 is a UUID of whatever
root is on /dev/sda2
I think grub-install is broken as well. the grub.cng says
echo 'Loading Linux linux ...'
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda2 rw quiet
resume=UUID=081f0c4f-c2ef-4a60-ada9-c91e5e136d2d
Maybe not! it is under /boot
Documentation is correct, grub-install is not
QUUTE:
Selecting a specific runlevel at boot
OpenRC reads the kernel command-line used at boot time, and will start
the runlevel
specified by the softlevel parameter if provided, instead of default.
For instance, you
can choose whether to boot into the default, nonetwork or single-user
runlevels
with the following example grub.conf configuration:
/boot/grub/grub.conf
title=Regular start-up
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 <<===CORRECT
title=Start without networking
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 softlevel=nonetwork
title=Single-user mode
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 softlevel=single
I could be wrong. No matter what I do, it fires up grub and starts to
load the kernel, give me ... and stops dead.
