The --unicode argument is where the kernel parameters are specified. This tells the system that the partition identified by PARTUUID is encrypted and that the root filesystem to mount is the logical volume called root that is part of the volume group vg0. The microcode is also loaded with initrd=\intel-ucode.img.

Make this script executable.

chmod u+x /usr/local/sbin/mkefibootentry

Run the script to add to the motherboard boot entries.

$ mkefibootentry

Root Password

Create a secure password for the root user.

$ passwd

Reboot

Return to the Arch live installation environment.

$ exit

Unmount the partitions.

$ umount -R /mnt

Restart the machine with reboot. Remember to remove any installation media such as a USB drive.

$ reboot

Provided nothing has gone wrong your machine will boot into a fresh installation of Arch Linux. Don't forget that during the boot you will be prompted to enter the passphrase to decrypt the system partition.

Following this guide will leave you with a very minimal system where you can login as the root user. From this point how you configure the system is up to you as it will be very different to how I configure my own. If you interested in seeing how I do it then see my other posts on the subject.
