The issue here is that Archinstall can't find a second partition that it supports. It needs two partitions, one /boot and one / partition, at least in the current version that is released.

This is because the EFI partition needs to be fat32 and the root partition can be almost anything.

The next version that's due in a short while will support single-partition-setups with GRUB. As well as more helpful partitioning guidance.

Workaround: Either wipe the entire drive if possible, or set up two partitions. I'm not sure what's on /dev/sda1, but ideally that would be a boot-enabling partition.

@Torxed I reckon this is supported now?
