To get a entire list of your partition tables
run a command......
# lsblk
You should have a "/boot" partition or else it will be on your root "/".
These should be at least mounted. Usually this happens on start
up if everything installed correctly.
Please post your tables. Help us to help you.
P.S.
Also I realize you probably can not get back into Arch with grub being installed improperly.
You will need to put the install media back in and boot up from the install media.
Then....
1)Mount your drives.
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/home
2)Then Chroot into your install.
# arch-chroot /mnt
3)Finally you can run.
#lsblk
Then report back to us with what those tables look like.
