This example is using sd card, feel free to change mmcblk to whatever partition you are using

• wget "http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz"
• cfdisk /dev/mmcblk1

• Creates one partition 512MB as FAT32

• Creates another with ext4 (Linux Partition)

• mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1
• mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p2
• mkdir /mnt
• mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt
• mkdir /mnt/boot
• mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/boot
• bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz -C /mnt
• genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
