Indeed. it says that the 2011.08.19 Arch Linux installer does not not support GRUB2. (I'm a bit confused about whether when "grub" is mentioned it means "grub2"; the wiki could be a lot clearer about that -- to be on the safe side, I avoided grub entirely and went with syslinux instead). 2011.08.19 is the what one gets if one downloads the current installer. According to the wiki, the step of copying the bootloader is supposed to occur after the reboot, and your page says that that should be possible. I did not realise it could be done before the reboot (since the wiki doesn't mention that possibility) so I have not tried that. I was planning to follow the new instruction placed into the wiki by Paul Dann and mentioned in his e-mail <2457829.5nCasJRlDv@leto> once I got past the reboot stage. So perhaps, having now discovered that the bootloader can be copied before the reboot, what I need to do is to go through the entire procedure again and this time copy the bootloader with /usr/sbin/syslinux-install_update -iam BEFORE the reboot. Incidentally, I have tried to boot off both the disks in the RAID1 array; they both fail with the same error (unable to find /dev/md0). Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
