Back in my day, we needed to do all of that by hand, and there wasn’t even arch-chroot, no, we had to bind mount dev, proc and and sys manually as well!
Though in fairness, before that, there was the AIF, which I also used, but that doesn’t sound so manly.
Almost, as I said, arch-chroot didn’t exist back then, and while the official method is still manual, archinstall is part of the official ISO, while back then, no helper was provided, so you had to do it manually.
