Something useful when you are installing Arch and you are stuck.
You can't access your login at startup
Try to use another TTY by pressing
ctrl+alt+F1
ctrl+alt+F2
ctrl+alt+F3
ctrl+alt+F4
ctrl+alt+F5
ctrl+alt+F6
ctrl+alt+F7
My default is tty7, but if you ever need to additional consoles to use, you have it there.
One time I had to use irc in the terminal because my tty7 wasn't working correctly due to an update corruption or something and I went on TTY2 and went on weechat to ask for help.
You can also use this to do your upgrades in the background
