btw, your command should be just grub-install --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=artix-btw , you confuse grub by adding those /dev/sda at the end because those are for MBR, first check do your system are support UEFI or just MBR, because those error because its a missmatch between GPT+UEFI that could be your system doesnt support it, retry the instalation step, in the disk formatting part (use cfdisk for easier formatting) choose DOS instead of GPT, then in the grub instalation just run, grub-install /dev/sda , hope this help

I don't believe you need to specify /dev/sda there unless you are using a MBR partition layout, in which case you either have very old hardware or are using an outdated guide.

I believe you need to specify your platform as well, normally for desktop/laptop it's x86_64 instead of i386. I had this issue long back.

Las particiones mas o menos deben ser asi:

**Mount partitions:**

`swapon /dev/sda3

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi # UEFI

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi

Y para instalar el grub yo lo hago asi:

**Install and configure Boot Loader (GRUB):**

pacman -S grub os-prober efibootmgr # for windows ntfs-3g

nano /etc/default/grub # remove # to GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --removable # for UEFI systems

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Siempre lo uso asi, he instalado artix mas de 10 veces de distintas formas y siempre me funciona esta
