-    <YYYY> Year
-    <MM> Month
-    <DD> Day
-
-
-** ISO in loopback mode.
-
-Note: Described method is for using with GRUB2.
-      GRUB2 is installed on target media and archlinux-<YYYY>.<MM>.<DD>-x86_64.iso
-      is at path <TARGET-PATH> on disk <D> and partition <P>,

-
-
-** Network booting (PXE).
-
-All ISOs are ready to act as PXE server, some manual steps are needed
-to setup the desired PXE boot mode.
-Alternatively it is possible to use an existing PXE server following the same logic.
-Note: Setup network first, adjust IP adresses, and respect all slashes "/".
-
-First stage is for loading kernel and initramfs via PXE, two methods described here:
-
-* DHCP + TFTP
-
-Note: All NIC firmwares should support this.
-
-# dnsmasq --port=0 \
-          --enable-tftp \
-          --tftp-root=/run/archiso/bootmnt \
-          --dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,86400 \
-          --dhcp-boot=/arch/boot/syslinux/lpxelinux.0 \
-          --dhcp-option-force=209,boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg \
-          --dhcp-option-force=210,/arch/
-
-* DHCP + HTTP
-
-Note: Not all NIC firmware supports HTTP and DNS (if domain name is used).
-      At least this works with iPXE and gPXE.
-
-# dnsmasq --port=0 \
-          --dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,86400 \
-          --dhcp-boot=http://192.168.0.7/arch/boot/syslinux/lpxelinux.0 \
-          --dhcp-option-force=209,boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg \
-          --dhcp-option-force=210,http://192.168.0.7/arch/
-
-
-Once the kernel is started from PXE, SquashFS files and other misc files
-inside "arch" directory must be loaded (second stage). One of the following
-methods can be used to serve the rest of live-medium.
-
-* HTTP
-
-# darkhttpd /run/archiso/bootmnt
-
-
-* NFS
-
-# echo "/run/archiso/bootmnt 192.168.0.*(ro,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)" >> /etc/exports
-# systemctl start nfs-server.service
-
-
-* NBD
-
-Note: Adjust ARCH_201703 as needed.
-
-# cat << EOF > /tmp/nbd-server.conf
-[generic]
-[archiso]
-    readonly = true
-    exportname = /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201703
-EOF
-# nbd-server -C /tmp/nbd-server.conf
