Arch Linux Installation 2020

I had thought it's a bug, but when I changed the default archisolabel=ARCHISO_OINGAE2I command line option to archisolabel=abcd (where abcd is my USB drive label), it works!
We should include that in our documentation, as it seems rather common that people remaster their USB images instead of dd'ing them (judging from the number of reports about this).
Some clarification: This was done so archiso wouldn't mount every single filesystem to look for the right image. Also, we are more flexible with respect to scan times on USB busses: We are able to check once a second if the archiso-device appeared, so if it takes 2 seconds, we can start booting after 2 seconds, and if it happens after 20 seconds, we won't abort before that. I sincerely hope that all reports of failures were due to people remastering the images and not setting the label in menu.lst properly.

Arch Linux Netboot
About Netboot
Netboot images are small (<1MB) images that can be used to download the latest Arch Linux release on the fly upon system boot.It is unnecessary to update the netboot image, the newest release will be available automatically.
Netboot uses customized iPXE builds.The Linux kernel, initramfs and squashfs files for the live system are downloaded from an Arch Linux mirror.The integrity of all downloaded files is verified with cryptographic signatures.
Requirements
To use netboot, the following requirements must be met:
- Wired (ethernet) internet connection with DHCP autoconfiguration
- Sufficient memory to store and run the live system
Download
BIOS
- ipxe.lkrn (PGP signature) - Linux kernel-like image that can be started with any Linux bootloader
- ipxe.pxe (PGP signature) - PXE image for chainloading from a PXE environment
UEFI
- ipxe.efi (PGP signature) - x86_64 UEFI executable
You can build your own iPXE images compatible with netboot.For details, check out the ipxe-netboot AUR package.
