arch install script pre mounted config no boot

Hi.

I'm trying an install with arch install sript but I need a partition layout that it doesn't support. So I'm doing it manually and select "use pre mounted config" in the installer. On the last step "install" it gives me a mesage:

invalid configuration: boot partition not found

but I think I've done everything one needs for a normal arch install:
used parted to create GPT on /dev/nvme0n1
part 1 FAT32 FLAGS: boot, ESP
part 2 LUKS
my custom cryptsetup
LVM Swap
LVM Root
mkfs fat ext4 swap, swapon, mount /mnt /mnt/boot

Then I select /mnt in the installer and the above error message shows when hovering over install.

Is there a documentation on what to do for "correct" pre mounted config?

Any help would be appreciated ...

Re: arch install script pre mounted config no boot

This ArchInstallScript is just buggy as hell, as long as you do a normal installation it works really well and is fast but if you want something specific it will fail. Too sad, I had hoped it would speed up a new install (doing this so seldom that I have to research much stuff).

Back to manual install I guess ...

One question still interests me:
Is there a documentation on what to do for "correct" pre mounted config?
I found non in the arch wiki or on their github page. Orami too stupid?
