So for anyone else who is curious and runs across this post here is what has been learned:

Ok to ignore, and just proceed with install.
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: Attempting to install GRUB to a disk with multiple parition labels. This is not supported yet..
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklist. However, blocklist are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
Not sure what causes this, but attempt
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug --force /dev/sda
Before you get very crazy, as a simple reinstall takes little time and this may solve your issue.
Edit; Grammar

I'm fairly certain this is the only problem left it could be. Btw in my fstab file, I have set the root partition '/' to have a <pass> of 1.
]]>Hello, I'm keep trying to install arch linux for the first time onto my machine and have well... failed multiple times. I've been lurking through the post, but I've never found anything helpful as of yet. So I'd like to ask you if you could give me just a little help.
I the same warnings from pacman while trying to install anything, only while in my mounted /mnt partitions from arch-chroot. Warrning is as follows

It does seem to work, but I would like to know if someone can explain why during the install I'm getting these warnings?
There is another problem that occurs while installing grub, but since it may be related I'll post about it later. When someone can explain this or tell me how bad my install is looking so for.
Edit: Better title; Info about grub failing.
