Startup problems

I have succesfully gone through the installationprocess of archlinux without any errors (finally!), but when I reboot the computer it just starts windows as usually without giving me the choice of starting linux. (I installed linux on a computer with windows already installed on a separate harddrive.) But how do i start linux i wonder?

I guess you'll have to change the first boot hd in the bios.

Re: Startup problems

I solved it but I got another error
On startup i get an error that says:

/bin/sh: Can't access tty; job control turned of.

And then nothing more happens. no login. no nothing,
