Cannot exit or reboot or shutdown after new installation

I downloaded runit artix-base-runit-20220713-x86_64.iso and via rufus, put it into a usb.

I followed the instructions of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCc_4fSYzRA

It has the same setup (UEFI + runit), but I don't know if it has MBR or GPT. I have GPT.

I had followed the same setup 2 years ago, with legacy bios and MBR, worked perfectly. Now, the only difference to make it work was change
Code: [Select]
artools-chroot
into
Code: [Select]
artix-chroot /mnt

Anyway. Reached the end, watching that video, and with the wiki installation to the side seeing if anything misses (nope)
Code: [Select]
 grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Says no error reported, all good.

The Problem
Quoting from artix installation wiki
Quote
Reboot the system

Now, you can reboot and enter into your new installation:

Code: [Select]
exit                           <- exit chroot environment
umount -R /mnt
reboot

I press exit. Works finely. umount -R /mnt outputs:
Code: [Select]
umount: /mnt: not mounted
though it did work.

Typing reboot, however?...
Code: [Select]
init: fatal: unable to create /etc/runit/stopit: file does not exist
Typing shutdown:
Code: [Select]
Usage: shutdown [-fF] [-kchPr] time [warning message]

In short, I cannot shutdown the pc, and I am afraid the installation steps have been wrong. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong, or how to fix the above? I literally did the youtube video's steps 1:1
I shall keep the pc open, as I'm afraid it may break completely if I power it off manually (aka gotta reinstall from scratch)

Edit: /etc/fstab contents are (copying by hand lol)
Code: [Select]
# Static information about the filesystems.
# See fstab(5) for details.

# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda2

# /dev/sda1

I really want to get Artix working again, and would be willing to try other artix inits, if some1 can ensure me they work in 2022 (seeing latest runit does not)

Reply #1 –
I am retarded. I apologize for this post.

I went to close the pc as I could not wait for an answer, and sitting&doing nothing in such a critical moment just infuriated me, so I tried to turn it off. Realized I was in
Code: [Select]
bash
and
Code: [Select]
exit
made me able to reboot/poweroff -_-
