Details

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot Archboot 2016.08
2. In the main menu, go to "3 Prepare Storage Drive", then "1 Auto-Prepare" and use all the default options
3. In the main menu, go to "3 Prepare Storage Drive", then "2 Partition Storage Drives" (I've got two harddisks, and want /home on the second one, so auto-prepare only got me part of the way)
4. Select /dev/sda
5. Press Ctrl-Alt-F2
6. Run `top`

At this point there's a process under `bash /arch/setup` which simply does `grep /dev/ /dev/sda`, which presumably is not intended.

Additional info:
* Archboot 2016.08
This task depends upon

This seems to be caused by HEAD of usr/share/archboot/installer/setup line 1716:

if [[ "${DISC}" == "" ]] || [[ ! "$(grep '/dev/' "${DISC}")" ]]; then

Archboot is for creating live system images. What are you trying to do here?

I'm installing a system from an Archboot 2016.08 bootable USB stick. Isn't that what it's for?

Ah, we're talking about the scripts included on the live system.

Autoprepare was designed for single drive installation, don't use it on more than one drive.

If you change mountpoints afterwards it should reset the whole autoprepare procedure seems the logic is somewhere broken.

Should be fixed in latest setup code.
