• Various partitioning layouts
• Tailored for Arch Linux Install

• 512.0 MiB ef00 EFI System
• [remaining] 8300 Linux filesystem

• n (create new partition)
• 1 (partition number)
• Enter (use default first sector)
• +512MiB (last sector)
• ef00 (EFI System partition type)

• n (create new partition)

• 8300 (Linux filesystem partition type)

• p (verify two partitions):

  • 2 (remaining space) 8300 Linux filesystem

• w (write changes to disk; confirm with y)
