This makes interactive installations over serial consoles possible with
nothing more than specifying the console= kernel parameter.
Changed inittab id "s0" -> "z0" to avoid conflict with line ttyS0. (Gerardo)

Add two parameters:
img_dev=/dev/sdNM
where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located.
img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso
where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev.
Original idea from Baurzhan Muftakhidinov.

This is how ISO will look now:
/syslinux only syslinux related files (syslinux.cfg, *.c32, etc)
/arch/ isomounts
/arch/any *.sqfs only on -T full or -T split
/arch/i686 *.sqfs
/arch/x86_64 *.sqfs
/arch/boot Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage
/arch/boot/i686 Linux + initramfs
/arch/boot/x86_64 Linux + initramfs

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

This allow to have syslinux.cfg splited in multiple .cfg files.
Curretly: -S /path/to/syslinux.cfg
Changed to: -S /path/where/are/syslinux.cfgs.files/

Add a note about supported status in Linux versions.
Needs squashfs-tools-4.1 (now on extra).

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
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 --

Some modern HDD come with agressive APM settings by default,
not only "green ready" drive also "high end" drives.
Adding hdparm so users can change/disable hdd settings (mostly -B -S -M).

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.
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.
* squashfs images that will be part of read-only branchs for union mount in /
are mounted on /ro_branch/{image_name} instead of /tmpfs/mnt/{image_name}
(and avoid empty dirs on live env under /mnt)
* tmpfs that will be part of read-write branch for union mount in /
is mounted on /rw_branch instead of /tmpfs
* tmpfs that is for store *.sqfs images when copytoram=y, is mounted on
/copytoram instead of /tmpfs.sqfs
* tmpfs_size= parameter renamed to rw_branch_size=
* tmpfs_sqfs_size= parameter renamed to copytoram_size=

Takes the same actions independent of medium (disk/cdrom).

Currently works partially since in bash "*" is not expanded.
Old dirs removed, always empty dirs removed from list.
Also cleanup sync databases from pacman 3.4.0, avoiding problems with
pacman -Sy since "sync" directory is deleted.
