My issue is I wanted to chain load arch, I had slack installed and couldn't bring myself to uninstall it, I looked at syslinux and grub and found that both hate being put in a partition instead of the MBR, I'm just more used to grub... if I had the time to coerce lilo into booting both the setup would likely have been prettier...

@Nosferatu Chainloading is ironically exactly what syslinux can handle better than grub. A vicious circle.
When you're preparing for a hard disk format:
Same here
I still think is is funny lol just imagine doing this as a punishment :(
Installing arch,
everything works perfectly,
installing grub,
won't install to partition,
use force option,
grub installs,
grub boots,
select arch,
failure...
Looking through the config file I discover a uuid I don't recognise, oh,
that's because literally no device or partition marches this uuid that appeared from the damn ether.
After changing it to point to an existent partition it works...
But seriously grub, why does your setup script just pull addresses out of it's ass? I lost 10 minutes because I thought you were trustworthy...
undefined
partition
grub
why?.
install
