Keep in mind that the Arch Installation Framework (an ncurses-based installer) has been deprecated, as of earlier this year. That means you will have to follow the Installation Guide[0] to manually set up the system from a live command line, Gentoo-style. 0: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide
