-*** Boot parameters (initramfs stage)
-
-** hooks/archiso
-
-* archisolabel= Set the filesystem label where archiso files reside.
- Default: (unset)
-* archisodevice= Set the device node where archiso medium is located.
- Default: "/dev/disk/by-label/${archisolabel}"
-* archisobasedir= Set the base directory where all files reside.
- Default: "arch"
-* copytoram= If set to "y" or just "copytoram" without arguments,
- all SquashFS are copied to "RAM". If you add the package
- "pv" to the packages.x86_64 it is used to display the copy
- progress.
- Default: (unset)
-* checksum= If set to "y" or just "checksum" without arguments,
- performs a self-test of all files inside ${install_dir},
- and continue booting if ok.
- Default: (unset)
-* cow_label= Set the filesystem label where COW file (for dm-snapshot)
- or upperdir/workdir files (for overlayfs) must be stored.
- Default: (unset)
-* cow_device= Like cow_label= but using device node.
- Default: (unset) or "/dev/disk/by-label/${cow_label}"
-* cow_flags= Set extra mount options, e.g. for btrfs subvolumes.
- Default: defaults
-* cow_directory= Set a directory inside ${cow_device}.
- Default: "/persistent_${archisolabel}/${arch}"
-* cow_persistent= Set if snapshot is persistent "P" or non-persistent "N".
- Only used for dm-snapshot mode, ignored for overlayfs.
- Default: "N" (if no ${cow_device} is used) otherwise "P".
-* cow_spacesize= Set the size for COW space (tmpfs). Valid for both
- dm-snapshot and overlayfs mode.
- The argument is an integer and optional unit.
- Units are M,G (powers of 1024).
- Default: "256M"
-* cow_chunksize= Set chunksize used for dm-snapshot. This is number
- of 512 byte blocks to write at once.
- Default: "8"
-* copytoram_size= Set the size of tmpfs. This space is used for
- airootfs.sfs image if copytoram=y.
- Size is in bytes (suffix with "k", "m" and "g") or
- in percentage of available RAM.
- Default: "75%"
-* dm_snap_prefix= Set a prefix for dm-snapshot node names.
- Only used for dm-snapshot mode, ignored for overlayfs.
- Default: "arch"
-* arch= Force an architecture type (i686 | x86_64).
- Do not set it for normal operations.
- Default: (architecture of running kernel)
-
-
-** hooks/archiso_pxe_common
-
-* ip= This parameter is setup automatically by PXELINUX
- when option "SYSAPPEND" is set to 1 or 2 in config.
- ip=<client-ip>:<boot-server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>
- Default: (set via PXE server)
-* BOOTIF= This parameter is setup automatically by PXELINUX
- when option "SYSAPPEND" is set to 2 or 3 in config.
- BOOTIF=<hardware-address-of-boot-interface>
- Default: (set via PXELINUX)
-* copy_resolvconf= Copy /etc/resolv.conf from initramfs to live-enviroment.
- Set to "n" to skip them.
- Default: "y"
-
-
-** hooks/archiso_pxe_nbd
-
-* archiso_nbd_name= Set NBD export name used by the server.
- Default: archiso
-* archiso_nbd_srv= Set an IP address where NBD reside.
- If ${pxeserver} is used, PXE IP will be used.
- Default: (unset)
-
-
-** hooks/archiso_pxe_http
-
-* archiso_http_srv= Set an HTTP URL (must end with /) where ${archisobasedir}
- is found with all *.sfs files.
- In the IP/domain part if ${pxeserver} is used, use PXE IP.
- Default: (unset)
-* archiso_http_spc= Set the size of tmpfs where *.sfs files are downloaded.
- Default: "75%"
-
-
-** hooks/archiso_pxe_nfs
-
-* archiso_nfs_srv= Set the NFS-IP:/path of the server
- In the IP part if ${pxeserver} is used, PXE IP will be used.
- Default: (unset)
-* archiso_nfs_opt= Set NFS mount options separated by comma.
- Default: (unset, see below)
- These are the implicit options:
- port = as given by server portmap daemon
- rsize = 1024
- wsize = 1024
- timeo = 7
- retrans = 3
- acregmin = 3
- acregmax = 60
- acdirmin = 30
- acdirmax = 60
- flags = hard, nointr, noposix, cto, ac
-
-
-** hooks/archiso_loop_mnt
-
-* img_label= Set the filesystem label where archiso-image.iso.
- Default: (unset)
-* img_dev= Device where archiso-image.iso reside.
- Default: (unset) or "/dev/disk/by-label/${img_label}"
-* img_flags= Set extra mount options, e.g. for btrfs subvolumes.
- Default: defaults
-* img_loop= Full path where archiso-image.iso is located on ${img_dev}
- Default: (unset)

-
-*** Boot parameters (configs/releng)
-
-** scripts/choose-mirror
-
-* mirror= Takes a mirror URL and creates a new mirrorlist.
- When setting mirror=auto, the mirror is taken from
- archiso_http_srv= in order to keep using the mirror
- selected in the netboot menu.
- Default: (unset)
-
-* script= Takes a local file path or a URL to a script file which is
