11. Format devices # mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p2 # mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p3

12. Make Home directory # mkdir /mnt/home

13. # mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt # mount /dev/mmcblk1p3 /mnt/home

14. # pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel dhcpcd grub-bios wpa_supplicant xf86-input-synaptics kernel-firmware

15. # genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

19. # locale-gen

20. Enable root logon via ssh

21. # rc-update add sshd default

22. # passwd (for setting root password)

23. Build EFI (before arch-chroot /mnt) # mkdir /boot/efi # mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /boot/efi # mkdir /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT # cp -v /boot/efi/EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

24. nano -w /boot/efi/startup.nsh

    bcf boot add 1 fs0:\EFI\GRUB\grubx64.efi "Hyper GRUB bootloader"

Build botia32.efi (necessary in ASUSx205TA) # grub-mkstandalone -d /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi/ -O i386-efi --modules="part_gpt part_msdos" --fonts="unicode" --locales="uk" --themes="" -o "/boot/efi/EFI/GRUB/bootia32.efi" "boot/grub/grub.cfg=/boot/grub/grub.cfg" -v # cp -v /boot/efi/EFI/GRUB/bootia32.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI

29. Create swap file:

    • # fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
    • # chmod 600 /swapfile
    • # mkswap /swapfile
    • # echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | tee -a /etc/fstab
