well, if you use the old 2009.8 images which has the old aif, it will indeed give problems when you install the latest packages (although technically it will mount /mnt/etc, but before it mounts /mnt so it gets inaccessible), and this problem exists more then since two weeks. http://projects.archlinux.org/aif.git/commit/?id=e478d001f43a61ba27650e1229b...
*if* this is the problem you're having, possible solutions: 1) run LC_COLLATE=c /arch/setup 2) get a new iso from http://build.archlinux.org/isos/
If the old 2009.08 isos don't work correctly anymore
Oops. My above information is incorrect, the old installer doesn't work anymore when ran from an iso _built from_ the changed initscripts package. the 2009.08 images (core+netinstall) should still work fine, the issue Fons had must be something else.
and the new 2010.03 are already released on http://build.archlinux.org/isos/, why aren't they released or linked to on http://www.archlinux.org/download/ and the mirrors? This is the place where new users usually look first to get the install images.
those are unsupported testing images Dieter
