2. Complete installation until the "Install the base system" step.

3. Switch to a tty and run the following commands:

   umount /target/boot/efi
   umount /target
   mount /dev/sdaY /mnt
   cd /mnt && mv @rootfs @
   btrfs subvolume create @home
   btrfs subvolume create @snapshots
   btrfs subvolume create @home_snapshots
   btrfs subvolume create @var
   btrfs subvolume create @tmp
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@ /dev/sdaY /target
   mkdir -p /target/boot/efi
   mkdir -p /target/home
   mkdir -p /target/snapshots
   mkdir -p /target/var
   mkdir -p /target/tmp
   mount /dev/sdaX /target/boot/efi
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@home /dev/sdaY /target/home
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@snapshots /dev/sdaY /target/snapshots
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@var /dev/sdaY /target/var
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@tmp /dev/sdaY /target/tmp
   mkdir -p /target/home/snapshots
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@home_snapshots /dev/sdaY /target/home/snapshots
   

4. Edit fstab to mount items from step 4.
