Arch Install UEFI Using GPT partition scheme
It is probably time for everyone to learn how to use uefi BIOS. There will be a time in the not so far future where BIOS Legacy mode will be forgotten. Time for the younger crowd to learn about their future options.
I don't go through the entire installation, just the parts that are different in uefi. The whole of the installation is the same. 4 different key parts. Easy-peazy
Partition drive and include 512Mb and type it as EFI
format: mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
DO NOT MOUNT /dev/sda1 (EFI partition) yet
pacman -S grub efibootmgr os-prober if needed dosfstools mtools
mkdir /boot/EFI
mount /dev/sda1 /boot/EFI
ls /boot/EFI
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit, umount -R /mnt, reboot, enjoy
