[SOLVED] - UEFI - archLinux after install not boot

Hi! I'm new user on archLinux but not in Linux. I have a Dell XPS L421X: i5, 8GB RAM, 32 GB SSD (In Windows is used as cache), 500GB, Intel 4000. UEFI Bios.
Before do the Install I read the Beginners' guide from Wiki and I follow step by step this guide.

I have Installed arch on the laptop, but the laptop does not boot :S

500GB --> sda 32GB SSD --> sdb

/dev/sdb1 --> 500Mb FAT --> UEFI File System (ef00) -->mounted in /boot
/dev/sdb2 --> 300Mb Ext4 --> /boot
/dev/sdb3 -->29 GB Ext4 --> /

/dev/sda1 --> 25GB Ext4 --> /var
/dev/sda2 --> 400GB Ext4 --> /home
/dev/sda3 --> 16 GB Ext4 --> Swap (I use it for hinbernate)

Now I remeber to I need to create another partition for the /tmp...jajaja

The bootmgr installed is grub.

I do not know what I need to do for the Linux boot :S

Thanks in advance!
regards

A single mount point can only contain a single filesystem.

Re: [SOLVED] - UEFI - archLinux after install not boot

Thanks for you replay. At first time I think like you but the beginners`guide:

In case you have a UEFI motherboard, mount the EFI System Partition to /boot. Whilst other mountpoints are viable, using /boot is recommended as explained in the EFISTUB article.

The /boot partition is reemplace by UEFI partition?

Thanks again

Re: [SOLVED] - UEFI - archLinux after install not boot

If you mount the EFI partition to boot, you don't need (and also can't have) another boot partition. So you table should look like this.

/dev/sdb1 --> 500Mb FAT --> UEFI File System (ef00) -->mounted in /boot
/dev/sdb2 -->29 GB Ext4 --> /

/dev/sda1 --> 25GB Ext4 --> /var
/dev/sda2 --> 400GB Ext4 --> /home
/dev/sda3 --> 16 GB Ext4 --> Swap
