Thank You,

at the moment my /etc/apk/repositories does look like this:

   =E2=80=A2 rocketmouse@archlinux ~=20
   $ cat /mnt/m1.alpine/etc/apk/repositories=20
   # Warning: Changing the repositories to latest-stable may initiate unexp=

   #

It wasn't necessary. However, just in case I ever should need to do
this. If startup should end with the messages

   mount: mounting /dev/nvme0n1p5 on /sysroot failed: No such file or direc=
tory
   Mouting root failed
   initramfs emergency recovery shell launched.

then I need to run

   mount -t ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p5 /sysroot

Is this correct?

This does the trick.

   =E2=80=A2 rocketmouse@archlinux ~=20
   $ grep Alpine /boot/grub/grub.cfg -A 4
   menuentry "    Alpine Linux" {
           search --no-floppy --set=3Droot --label m1.alpine
           linux	/boot/vmlinuz-lts root=3D/dev/disk/by-label/m1.alpine ro m=
odules=3Dext4
           initrd	/boot/initramfs-lts
   }
