[SOLVED] Net install fails at starting mkinitcpio

Question

trying to do net install today and during the install after you do the configurations i get the following message:
STARTING MKINITCPIO , Executing chroot /mnt /sbin/mkinitcpio -p linux >>/var/log/aif/mkinitcpio.log 2>&1\n
chroot: failed to run command '/sbin/mkinicpio' : No such file or directory.
This happens every time since 4/12, i've tried on 2 machines, one intell, one amd, and i've tried using different mirrors for net install.
going to try local core install and see what that gets me.

Alternatively, after installing the base packages (between step 6 and step 7), you can switch to another console, login as root and do:
cd /mnt/sbin
ln -s ../usr/bin/mkinitcpio .
ok just to be clear, i tend to take cli instruction verbatim, so when i did it, that last dot, made it not work, it just turned up what i said in original post, so i had to do it again.
# cd /mnt/sbin
# ln -s ../usr/bin/mkinitcpio
no errors ^_^
so now i'll move on to my gui but i think every is nice now.
