                  defaults to "arch".

There is a new %INSTALL_DIR% macro for syslinux.cfg.

This is how ISO will look now:
/syslinux    only syslinux related files (syslinux.cfg, *.c32, etc)
/arch/       isomounts + *.sqfs images
/arch/boot/  Linux + initramfs + Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage

syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel
by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit
versions instead:
LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too)
COM32 - for COM32 modules
COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now)
See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#KERNEL_file

This was wrong and can never have worked. Fix it.

Newer nbd-server uses config file instead of parameters via cmd line (deprecated).
Also does not use a fixed port (oldstyle).

Sample nbd-server.conf that works with this change:

-- CUT HERE --
[generic]
[archiso]
    readonly = true
    exportname = /tmp/archlinux.iso
-- CUT HERE --

The name of the bootloader is syslinux, while isolinux is just one
of many components. isolinux.bin now also accepts syslinux.cfg
as a configuration file name (as do all other loaders).

Thus, rename the isolinux/ folder to syslinux/, and rename
isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. The only occurrence of 'isolinux'
is now the actual loader file 'isolinux.bin'. This makes
the transition from isolinux to the other syslinux loaders
easier when remastering the ISO onto another medium.

The upstream URL is dead and there seems to be no other source
or information on this tool. Thus, drop it

HDT is a hardware detection/info tool. It will show information about your hardware,
including PCI devices. It will also show the names of the kernel modules that will
support your devices.

This step is now done at archiso hook (commit 1fc3a61b

)

First install {base} group, then install rest of packages listed
at in packages file.
In this way, ensure a fully base system installed first,
avoinding errors from install scriptlets of rest of packages.

(currently there is no issue with packages listed on packages files,
but if some add more packages to customize the iso will see errors)

This requires mkinitcpio 0.6.7 or later, as well as syslinux 4.00pre56
or later. See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK

This adds crda, wpa_actiond and netcfg, so we can use
net-auto-wireless mode on the ISO.

Latest init script mounts a /dev FS, so /dev/loop0 will disappear.
Create loop0 on /lib/udev/devices so udev copy to /dev on startup.
