[SOLVED]resolv.conf reset byNetworkManager,despite not being installed

I am unable to resolve domain names while chrooted into my new installation (havent installed the bootloader yet), and I've found that my resolv.conf is empty,
only containing:

# Generated by NetworkManager

I do not have networkmanager installed, but every time I try to change it, it is reverted to this state.

Is network functional before starting the chroot ?

If yes, what are the exact commands you use to change root ?

I can use the network properly outside of the chroot.
I change root with:

# arch-chroot /mnt/newroot

"arch-chroot" normally bind-mounts the host (live-disk) "resolv.conf" into the chroot environment to provide it with name resolution.  Does "resolv.conf" appear in the out of "mount"?

I set neworkmanager on the host to use a DNSserver, now it works!
