So basically you have to select the number of partition e.g. 1 (not /dev/sdb). I'll make PR to script so it will be more obvious. And also one more thing for you. This script is intended for UEFI installation so you have to change the virtualbox settings. Open the VM settings, select System, and on the Motherboard tab, select Enable EFI (special OSes only). Or edit that line if you want BIOS installation https://github.com/classy-giraffe/easy-arch/blob/1e11929db1764281e8b418a52fe2691bba446cfb/easy-arch.sh#L361 but I haven't used GRUB for a long time so I could forgot other steps necessary for legacy (BIOS) install.

I also tried efi boot but now i understand that the problem is disk selection.
