[Solved] Disk error after fresh installation on VMware

I am unable to boot into my newly installed Arch system.
I have followed followed Installation Guide with latest installation medium (2017.12.01).
After reboot this is appearing on screen:
https://preview.ibb.co/j6C1vR/archlinuxdiskerror.png

Also there is constant beep.
Before of this 'message' there is some readable text saying about disk formatting.
I have used cfdisk from instalation iso to partition my disk.

I am running VMware Workstation 14.
Boot mode: BIOS
Virtual Machine is set up to work with Linux kernels 4 and 4+. I remember setting it to versions 3+ and it worked fine.

Stupid mistakes as always...

I found the problem!
Forgot to install grub to my hard drive!

grub-install /dev/sda

Arch boots right away now without any problem.
