d57fef1d00 Add missing cd
When trying to execute this script, it fails because it doesn't move to the home directory. I think there's meant to be a `cd` after setting the `HOME` variable.

6ab3d43847 Arch Linux: Remove alternative solutions
The previous approach to installation is: try this easy one first, and
if it fails, try the hard one.

This commit streamlines the installation experience by minimizing
references to such procedures.

This commit also removes verbose comments from Root on ZFS installation
guides.

As the upstream has fixed glibc, its section is also removed.
