I wanted to install Arch Linux on my Raspberry Pi 3 and I found this article that describes the process step-by step: Now, I've run into a problem when I tried to create the vfat fs on the first partition:
My partition table:



Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/mmcblk0p7: 28.4 GiB, 30438064128 bytes, 59449344 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x11a5fc51

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p7p1 2048 206847 204800 100M c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p7p2 206848 59449343 59242496 28.3G 83 Linux


but still:



root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p7p1
mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
mkfs.vfat: unable to open /dev/mmcblk0p7p1: No such file or directory


Why is this and how can I get around it?
