How to use boot prompt
I tried installing Arch on another computer to try it out, it installed fine, and when it rebooted I got the "grub> " boot prompt, and I have no idea what to do!

If you got a grub> menu then something went wrong with the install. You might want to boot a live or installation cd and check your grub.conf (/menu.lst) and ensure everything is correct and rewrite grub to the partition table to be on the safe side.

I don't really know anything about boot loaders and stuff like that so I might have picked the wrong options.
