The purpose of this script is to setup a basic PXE server enviroment
from Arch Linux live-media. Only need to setup an ip address in the
machine and launch it. Booting all machines conected to the network
via PXE will boot Arch Linux Live media :)

nbd (network block device utilities) package is required.
This package is in AUR at this moment.

Also added dnsmasq pkg, so the live-medium, appart of support booting from PXE
also add the capability to acts as server for PXE & NBD.
This is a dirty script to ilustrate how to launch server:
---- Cut here ----
IP=$1
ISO=$2
ifconfig eth0 ${IP}
dnsmasq \
--enable-tftp \
--tftp-root=/bootmnt/boot \
--dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,"${IP}" \
--dhcp-range=${IP%.*}.2,${IP%.*}.254,86400
nbd-server 9040 ${ISO} -r
---- Cut here ----

Also mkinitcpio-nfs-utils is required for ipconfig.

Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by
60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook.
Tested on:
* Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive.
* KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI)
* VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to
USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise
USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=,
to force and specific device where live-media reside.
(Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future)

Fix file permissions, since GIT does not manage perms other than 755 and 644.
Also this can be used to adjusts owner:group.

New function _mnt_aufs(). Don't display incorrect message (Adding new aufs...)
when no aufs branch is mounted, because mount type is bind.
Also, makes the code more clean :)

Fixes FS#17182: copytoram=y does not work with aufs
The solution is simple, just use a directory outside aufs tree.
* If copytoram=y, then another tmpfs is mounted but on /tmpfs.sqfs
* Add a new option: tmpfs_sqfs_size= (default to 75%)
* Lock cdrom drive is not locked if copytoram=y

To make compatible with disablehooks= param. Since "hook_archiso-early"
is not a valid variable name.

* Make first /dev/loop0 device at archiso install hook.
* Remove unneeded losetup, all is done directly via mount.
* Images are now mounted on /tmpfs/mnt/image-name instead of
/tmpfs/mnt/loopN, removing unneeded counter.
* Add some variables to make code more readable.

Next version of mkinitcpio > 0.6.2 implements mount hook functionality.
So can avoid skipping normal flow of main init script, and removing common
end code with it.

Split from commit 00dda7d4 from Svenstaro repo: changed -offset for mkarchiso
from default 0 to 1 so that the other partition on the usb device can
still be edited after dd'ing to it

* Add archisodevide= boot option (suggested by brain0)
(if declared use it, if not use /dev/archiso created via udev rule)
* Removed redundant modprobe commands,
(modules are loaded automatically on mount -t)
* Other minor changes

Some basic changes to make archiso hooks work with the next mkinitcpio 0.6
Tested under KVM, a ""2010.02"" and works fine with it.
NOTE: current mkinitcpio-0.5.99.2-2 does not include "losetup", maybe
will be included in next version, see #[1]. For now must be added manually.
