install arch from the cd

• select "boot arch linux" to boot from the cd.

• verify the network is online. ping will not work from inside the VM. it's really complex to setup so don't worry about it. just make sure you can ssh somewhere.

• turn on ntp

timedatectl set-ntp true

• partition and format the qcow2 disk

fdisk /dev/vda
    (n, enter a few times, w)
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vda1
mount /dev/vda1 /mnt

• instal the base image

pacstrap /mnt base

configure the new machine

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc
vi /etc/locale.gen
    -- uncomment "en_US.UTF-8" line
locale-gen
echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf
echo "greyworm" > /etc/hostname
passwd
    -- set it to "root"

install the boot loader (grub)

pacman -S grub
grub-install /dev/vda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

• reboot into your new system

set up networking

• copy /etc/netctl/examples/ethernet-dhcp to /etc/netctl/dhcp
• edit the network interface to "ens3"

netctl start dhcp
netctl enable dhcp
