A Void Linux install (Unfinished)

This install is based on the EFI boot stub blog entry from Matthias Totschnig, the Void Handbook and the Void Linux man pages. This guide focuses on a Void Linux x86-64 glibc/musl install. It is probably not applicable to other architectures. In this install we're going to use gummiboot as bootloader and we're also going to encrypt the root partition.

Provisioning

First off you'll need to partition your drive. It should have atleast two partitions with one EFI System Partition and one Linux filesystem partition.

It should look something like this:

Number of partition	Size	Type
1	1 to 2 GB	EFI System
2	Rest of the drive	Linux filesystem
