Seriously, what did I do wrong?

Installing Archlinux in virtualbox (sadly yes in windows). i'm installing it in a 20gb ramdisk :). I have my partitions set up and i'm trying to install syslinux, but it's keep saying my command is wrong.

this is what i dit

#pacstrap /mnt syslinux

#genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

(do i need discard on a ramdisk?)

#arch-chroot /mnt

#mkinitcpio -p linux

#syslinux-install_update -iam

command not found :(

# syslinux-install_update -i -a -m

command not found :(

#pacstrap /mnt syslinux

pacstrap is a script only used to install Arch on the hard drive, not to install a specific package.

If you want to install a specific package use #pacman -S <package name>.

The beginner guide is priceless: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide
