In which directory is nano stored?

Hello! Quick and easy question -

I broke my arch linux, I often get kernel panics when booting, I am pretty sure this is because I have been messing with rc.conf.

I have TRK (trinity rescue  kit) which I can mount my arch filesystem in , but it does not come with nano, in which directory would nano be so that I can edit rc.conf to recover the system?

Thanks!

I mean (to clarify) which directory would the program nano usually be located on an arch linux installation
?

[skottish@iasE ~]$ whereis nano
nano: /usr/bin/nano /usr/share/nano /usr/man/man1/nano.1.gz

whereis rocks!

/usr/bin is where the executable is.

pacman -Ql nano rocks more. thats why we have a package manager
