Then I finally chrooted into /mnt, set up some Locales, set a root password and then installed and configured Grub2, exactly as it is explained here.Īt the end I exited from the chroot environment, unmounted the partitions and rebooted.

After selecting the mirrors, I installed base and base-devel.Īt the end of the install I generated an fstab. Then I mounted the root partition (sda2) to /mnt, after that also the boot and the home partition (sda3 and sda5) to /mnt/boot and /mnt/home and at the end formatted and activated the swap partition (sda4).

After the installation, it shows the BIOS screen and after that there just comes a message that says 'No bootable device found'.
