Hi All,
I've just completed my first successful Arch install - only the base system so far.
During installation, the default (ie before I edit) contents of /boot/loader/loader.conf are :
#timeout 3
default 560ffbf86c0448edaa02bcc5c1e30c91-*
Then I changed it as suggested to the default :
default arch
timeout 4
editor 0
and everything worked after that.
My question - what is the significance of that default value? What does it mean?
I'm just trying to understand the installation process.
Thanks.

The hexadecimal value for default should correspond to a machine-id key for an OS entry (usually further down in the file). It specifies which entry is chosen by default.
