Gummiboot not showing ArchLinux (Dual Boot with Windows 8)
I've tried to install Arch Linux after I have windows on my computer. I'm on a UIEF-GPT setup. I believe I've set up the partitions correctly using gdisk, which I made a / (code 8300) and /home (code 8302) partitions and formatted with ext4. I mounted both plus the EFI partition(/boot mounted). After rebooting, I'm able to get to the gummiboot menu but only option I get is the windows boot manager and EFI Default Loader, which only gives me the Windows boot manager. Let me know if you need more information.

Is there an EFI boot entry for Arch? Create it manually if not: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gu … efibootmgr

Thank you jasonwryan. I didn't realize you had to manually input the Arch Gummiboot entry. After doing that, I was successfully able to load ArchLinux.

Well, ideally it should be created when you run the gummiboot install command.
