Read through the rest of the page and try and get a sense of the bigger picture.
Your questions to date suggest you need to spend more time familiarising yourself with the basics, and less time blindly trying to install Arch.
# mkdir -p /mnt/{usb,iso}
Is "usb" the name of my usb, the location of my of my usb, the partition of my usb, or what? And what exactly is "iso"?
]]>Note: In the above command, X and Y denote the drive and partition of the UEFISYS partition. For example, in /dev/sdc5, X is "c" and Y is "5".
Installing Arch is one thing. Configuring and using Arch is a completely different chapter. You will have to do a lot personal research (is reading untill your socks fall off)
if you want to get it done.
# efibootmgr -c -g -d /dev/sdX -p Y -w -L "Arch Linux (GRUB)" -l '\EFI\arch_grub\grubx64.efi'
gives error
invalid numeric value Y
What's wrong this time
]]># mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
and then
# cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
I assume it worked now (I don't get an error.) Someone should edit the Beginners' Guide from
# pacman -S grub-bios
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
# cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
To
# pacman -S grub-bios
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
# mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
# cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
I don't use grub, so I can't be too much help.
Have you correctly generated your locale?
The file you are looking to copy does not look to be mission critical, you could always just ignore that line and continue...
I think I'll try to continue without copying that file, and see what happens...

Grub2 page:
# modprobe dm-mod
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sda
# mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
# cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
No wonder he has no /boot/grub/locale

cp: cannot create regular file /boot/brub/locale/en.mo: No such file or directory
I have followed the guide to the letter until this point. What's wrong?
Typo.

Thanks everyone.
