Install Arch Linux on Dell XPS 9570

This is my first attempt to install Arch Linux - either on bare metal or in a virtual environment. I spent a couple of hours trying to boot the image and get to the system for the actual installation. - Pressing enter on the boot entry Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD always resulted in a black screen. After trying several boot parameters I decided to rewrite the USB key. After that I was able to boot, with no startup parameters needed.

Run all commands as the root user.

• As the default Linux console font is very small on HiDPI displays I will use the largest font present in kbd package:

setfont latarcyrheb-sun32
