[SOLVED] multi-booting into to arch installs

Been feeling like an idiot for a while trying to figure this one out, trying to get grub to recognize 2 arch installs. Both installs work fine. The one part of the arch wiki on grub I don't understand is "Install the os-prober package and mount the partitions from which the other systems boot. Then re-run grub-mkconfig."

I installed os-prober but I am confused on where it wants me to mount the partitions with the other install.
Thanks for helping

Wiki I'm looking at :https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Detecting_other_operating_systems

It doesn't matter where, it has to be mounted "somewhere" for os-proper to consider and look at the partition you can pick any starting point /otherArch /mnt/otherArch /whatever

FWIW I added an additional note to the wiki, does that help?
