I am currently trying to install Arch Linux and have run into a multitude of problems but my latest has really stumped me. I am currently trying to mount /dev/sda3 using the command:$ mount /dev/sda3 When I execute above command, output saysthere is no /etc/fstab.I attempted to do genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstabOutput says:no such file or directory: /mnt/etc/fstab.What do you believe I did wrong? 
Mounting /dev/sda3 but /etc/fstab not found?

It would be easier to answer if you specified at which point in the installation process you are trying this. Assuming you are following the arch install guide, it looks like you just forgot to add the mountpoint to the mount command. try again like this:mount /dev/sda3 /mntThe other error is because there is no /mnt/etc directory so genfstab cannot create an fstab file in it.
