OK I think I finnaly got this to work but I had to do a couple of things. It is not apparent to me where in the install docks that a the vmlinuz image is copied over and I couldn't find it. And then I think it was broken (I got an error saying the file ended short). So I have to to a pacman -S --force linux after running artools-chroot
The file system partioning I had to alter to comply with gpt bios and it looks like this
