Hypervisor OS Install
Like living on the razors edge, how about an Arch Linux Hypervisor (These steps could be used for other systemd-networkd distributions).
USB Install
Grab whatever the latest ISO is: https://archlinux.org/download/
Find USB Drive
lsblk
sdb 8:17 1 8G 0 disk
Write image to USB Drive
Warning destroying all information on USB drive…
dd bs=4M if=/home/luser/Downloads/archlinux-2017.06.01-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync
Plug USB Drive into machine you want to install hypervisor on and boot.
We’re going to use UEFI make sure your hardware bios is setup for UEFI.
After boot double check UEFI
root@archiso ~ # mount | egrep efi
efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
Find your network port name

On this hardware it is called eno1
Add an IP and Netmask to eno1
root@archiso ~ # ip link set eno1 up
root@archiso ~ # ip addr add 10.13.37.101/24 broadcast 10.13.37.255 dev eno1
Add route to internet gateway
root@archiso ~ # ip route add default via 10.13.37.1

Working…
root@archiso ~ # ping google.ca

Not working…
Add nameserver to resolv.conf
root@archiso ~ # echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
root@archiso ~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
Test again…

Refresh pacman
root@archiso ~ # pacman -Syy
Optional: For remote installing
Install Openssh
root@archiso ~ # pacman -S openssh
root@archiso ~ # systemctl start sshd
root@archiso ~ # passwd
New password: 1337pleb
Retype new password: 1337pleb
passwd: password updated successfully
root@archiso ~ # ip addr show eno1
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000

inet 10.13.37.101/24 brd 10.13.37.255 scope global eno1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Now you should be able to remote ssh root@10.13.37.101 from another machine on the network with whatever password you set example 1337pleb to finish config.

Generate FSTAB
Use UUID

Note: Can’t get this working on some older Dell BIOS so we will be using -U for now.

Edit Mkinitcpio For BTRFS Changes
Note: Skip this for EXT4 setup…
[root@archiso /]# nano -w /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block btrfs filesystems keyboard"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

btrfs subvolume root installations
If booting a btrfs subvolume as root, amend the options line with rootflags=subvol=<root subvolume>.
In the example below, root has been mounted as a btrfs subvolume called ‘ROOT’ (e.g. mount -o subvol=ROOT /dev/sdxY /mnt ):
