many questions come to mind, did you install with full disk encryption, did you follow the steps of whichever guide completely?

Also, did you perchance accidently install onto your live image the os itself?

so if you had a usb with /dev/sdb  you wrote part or all of it to the usb aka /dev/sdb rather than /dev/sda?

or vice versa?

Kind of need more information to give you help.

I installed it according to this pagehttps://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … redirect=1

I think it might be better for the time being to start with the beginners guide,

if your not doing any encryption, it may help you. also, the moment you get into the installation, use lsblk to find out which is usb and which is hard drive/ssd

and then adapt accordingly.

I installed it again
This is my installation command
Still can't  boot the system

cfdisk /dev/sda
new 12G sda1
bootable sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
pacstrap /mnt base
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
nano /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
keymap="us"
rc-update add keymaps default
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/***/*** /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc --utc
echo *** > /etc/hostname
passwd
pacman -S grub
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda   (No error)
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit
umount -R /mnt
reboot

Maybe... emulatorman or Luke might have the answer, ask them. 

But tell me, did you use beginner's guide this time?

curious...
