Thanks for your hepl!
]]>When you think it has frozen after reaching the bluetooth.target, try hitting <enter> and see if the login prompt shows up for you.

Please post the output of lsblk -f.
What point are you at in the installation process? Is this your first reboot? (i.e. you haven't yet set up and tested X or installed video drivers etc.)
]]>Reached target Local File Sytems (Pre)
where it hangs, as shown by this picture.
The solution proposed elsewhere in the forum (eg, here, that is where the pic came from!) is to set the "nomodeset" kernel parameter.
This solution, however, did not work for me
Does anyone have any other suggestion?
Thank in advance for any help I can get

***EDIT***
After some reboots I found two further problems, and to fix them allowed me to step further.
Specifically (perhaps it will be useful to someone!), the first problem was:
A start job is running for dev-disk-by/<some.letters.and.numebers>.device
where <some.letters.and.numebers>.device is '/home' (/dev/sda7). I fixed this by changing its entry in /etc/fstab as:
# /dev/sda7 LABEL=home
UUID=1283ab07-03cc-4fee-b5e3-913533ac2ec9 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 2
The second problem was:
ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode16_mimo.fw" not found
ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website.
That I fixed by installing the b43-firmware from AUR.
Now bootup hangs at "Reached target bluetooth": after this nothing happens (I waited for about 5 minutes)
Does anyone have any idea?
Thank again for any help
