Or I just can't make sense from that selection. the selection is messed up, indeed. do me a favour and: install the libui-sh and aif packages from http://build.archlinux.org/repos/releng-any/ then install curl, then retry the install, making sure aif runs with debugging and logging enabled (add the -d and -l flags to the command in /arch/setup) if you hit the same bug, run aif-report-issues.sh this will submit all aif's temporary and logfiles to a pastebin, report the bug on the bugtracker and give me the report url provided to you by the script. as for your first problem, if you install grub anywhere else then /dev/sda or maybe /dev/sda1 it won't work. since your selection does not include /dev/sda1, any selection other then /dev/sda will cause problems.
