There is nothing in /efi/loader/entries/

I just install the OS today, I hope that I can add some kernel parameters in "the loader".conf in /efi/loader/entries/, but the folder is empty.

It looks like you're using UKIs. How did you install this system that you have UKIs and not know it or how to edit command line parameters? How you change kernel parameters depends on how you're generating them.

It's the first time for me to enable UKIs in the archinstall script when installing Arh Linux. In the past, I just use regular systemd boot loader.
It seems to have better support for secure boot.

ok kids - listen and repeat: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
for those not getting the joke: if you're unfamiliar with the manual way you should not use archinstall

After researching Arch Wiki for a very very long time, I finally find out that it is in "/etc/mkinitcpio.d/", I also need to edit the .preset file and comment out uki lines to and regenerate or reinstall the kernel to add new entry for new kernel
