Arch Boot doesnot show up in the bootmenu [ archinstall 2.4]

Hello,
I installed arch using the guided installer archinstall 2.4, I double checked each option before proceeding, grub-bootloader and all. But it doesn't show up in the boot menu. I also tried installing with archfi, another guided installer, but after that also, arch wouldn't show up.
Can someone help me? I have been searching for a solution for hours now.
Thank You.

When you say it does not show up, are you talking about boot menu? The drive (partition) you installed on is any data present. Is this a bios or uefi device?

Archfi is not supported by Arch so they will not be able to help you with it.

The more information you provide the easier it is for us to help.

Welcome to Arch ;-)

If you talk about the boot menu, which boot menu are you talking about? (e.g. boot media menu / efi menu / installed grub menu)
When the installation drive is plugged in (or the disk in the drive), then your computer most likely will boot to the installation boot menu. In that case try to reboot with it disconnected.

It is a uefi device.

[UPDATE]: It did not install with the grub-bootloader selection, but when I selected the bootloader as systemd-bootloader, It showed up in the boot menu. I haven't got the slightest clue what or how it happened. If someone could explain how this works, maybe?
