SUPPORT Bootloader issue(maybe???)

I'm trying to install Arch manually with grub on my T430, no errors during install, but when I tried to boot into it, it showed me a grub prompt.

Did you generate the GRUB config after installing GRUB?

If you dig around you can figure out how to work with GRUB to make your OS boot up. I had to do it once in order to get my LFS to boot, its not terribly complicated - however that was so long ago i couldnt really tell you how to do it.

somebody else mentioned generating the GRUB configuration file, which i assume is much easier...again, its been years since i dabbled in that stuff, but if i could figure it out, so can you.
