Shouldn't there be an option to not install bootloader?

[KoleckOLP]

Yesterday I tried to install Arch on my laptop that already has Widnows 10 and Fedora Rawhide install, but I didn't watch arch to have it's own bootloarder I wanted to use the grub that I already have for fedora but arch install wouldn't let me install if I don't make a /boot partiton.

Should there be an option to install without bootloader, choosing none for bootloader and than using my own?

Makes sense to be honest.
It would be impressive if we could detect existing bootloaders and add an entry.

But KISS says making it optional is good enough.

If it's optional then the installation can be started without choosing anything which I think will happen by accident occasionally.
To avoid that would it be fair to pre-populate the entry with systemd at least?

I'm going to Necro this purely because this is a good idea and we should have this. It comes in very handy for dual-booting two linux distributions. Sure you can do manual arch install, but then why have archinstall as a convenience. It is a must-have in my opinion

This has been implemented and is available #3677

Use --skip-boot
