The log shows that device `nvme0n1` was being installed to and would be wiped, including of all existing partitions, by the installer. On that device, the existing partition `nvme0n1p3` should...

`archinstall` should conform to the ArchWiki. The installation guide instructs to [generate an fstab file](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Fstab).

The partition type GUID for `root`, `home`, and `swap` are set in order to support this: 06baa08, 0eac05c, 19c390e.

The [hook.preset](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio/-/blob/a6ef10d3f4f24029fc649686ba36f692d8575a7a/mkinitcpio.d/hook.preset) for `mkinitcpio` uses `/boot` as the directory to place kernels and initramfs images. There are configurations that are valid and `archinstall` will allow where this may be problematic...

I believe you misunderstand what you quoted. The "Mount the ESP to `/efi`" bullet expects that the `/boot` directory will be on the root partition as nowhere in the Wiki...

You are taking this personal and it is not. I never stated or presented anything as crazy or insane nor that I dislike a separate FAT `/boot` partition. You are...

Yes, and as I have stated all of that applies when `/boot` is on the root partition. What is the benefit of creating an extra partition rather than using the...

@michaeluk01, GRUB has [file system drivers](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Supported_file_systems) so it can access `/boot` on the root partition, this is why it works.
