format both 1 & 2 as ext4

mount -t ext4 /dev/nvmen0n1p2 /mnt

mkdir /mnt/boot

mount -t ext4 /dev/nvmen0n1p1 /mnt/boot

setup-disk  -v -m sys /mnt

just to make sure:

extlinux -i /mnt -u

dd bs=440 conv=notrunc count=1 if=/usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin of=/dev/nvme0n1

again - to make sure

cat /usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin > /dev/nvme0n1

reboot and check if system comes up with error about not being able to mount root... then use the procedure for updating initramfs

reboot and login.

NOW FOR SWAP.
