# pacman -S dhcpcd
# systemctl enable dhcpcd

Otherwise, the booted ArchLinux will have no network to install *anything*.

The rest of your instructions were invaluable to me,

Thank-you!

I am getting dropped into `grub> ` prompt and /boot/EFI is empty. I am kind of guessing, it has been 10 years since I configured grub.

@sclav,

Yeah sure, I will update the article with the installation of dhcpd…

What if you want to dual-boot Ubuntu? Then the EFI partition would be already installed and so does GRUB, right?

I’m struggling with this. I have both installed, but can’t boot into Arch, the grub menu entry is never shown.
