triple boot problem

[red-smeg]

Issue is the installer overwrites the main EFI partition and then the system cannot boot into boot camp

when i run the "python -m archinstall" command and save the disk layout how can i use the secondary EFI to prevent the primary EFI being overwritten

e.g. my disk is laid out as follows

nvme0n1p1 - EFI System nvme0n1p2 - Apple APFS nvme0n1p3 - Microsoft basic data (Bootcamp) nvme0n1p4 - Microsoft basic data (EFI2 - (286M) <- this is the target EFI (I ask the installer to mount it as /boot) nvme0n1p5 - Microsoft basic data (48G for swap) <- this is theswap i ask the installler to mount it as /swap nvme0n1p6 - Microsoft basic data (888G for linux) <- this is the location for / i ask the installer to make it ext4

I edited the user_disk_layout.json to say ESP: true for nvme0n1p4 but not sure if that will work do i need to change the partition type ?

{ "/dev/nvme0n1": { "partitions": [ { "ESP": true, "PARTUUID": "20ba1539-e7b4-419d-b7c1-39204cc4bd37", "boot": true, "encrypted": false, "filesystem": { "format": "vfat" }, "mountpoint": null, "size": 76800, "start": 6, "type": "primary", "wipe": false }, { "ESP": false, "PARTUUID": "c9b42d80-1432-4c2f-a268-3ee4a8e584e4", "boot": false, "encrypted": false, "filesystem": { "format": "apfs" }, "mountpoint": null, "size": 487304704, "start": 77056, "type": "primary", "wipe": false }, { "ESP": false, "PARTUUID": "c3dd3887-5366-41c2-8b7d-f87a052229f1", "boot": false, "encrypted": false, "filesystem": { "format": "ntfs" }, "mountpoint": null, "size": 244890880, "start": 487381760, "type": "primary", "wipe": false }, { "ESP": true, "PARTUUID": "50f513f3-7bfc-419e-968d-31953d79a1d3", "boot": true, "encrypted": false, "filesystem": { "format": "exfat" }, "mountpoint": "/boot", "size": 73216, "start": 732272640, "type": "primary", "wipe": false }, { "ESP": false, "PARTUUID": "0f4a820c-665a-4bc7-a2d1-6250bab2a38e", "boot": false, "encrypted": false, "filesystem": { "format": "linux-swap" }, "mountpoint": "/swap", "size": 11718656, "start": 732345856, "type": "primary", "wipe": false }, { "ESP": false, "PARTUUID": "1a21560d-c9e9-4d5d-be40-01d66948963e", "boot": false, "encrypted": false, "filesystem": { "format": "ext4" }, "mountpoint": "/", "size": 233032192, "start": 744064512, "type": "primary", "wipe": false } ] } }

[Redecorating]

I think you may need to change the partition's "type" to EFI system. I normally do this with cfdisk /dev/nvme0n1, use arrow keys to select the partition you want and the "type" button

Update:

I did a bunch of things to make progress with help from discord.

1. Changed the partition type
2. Switched off the wipe option
3. Manually did a mkfs to each partition as it kept failing at that stage

Now it is failing here
