[arch-releng] [archiso] [PATCH] Reintroduce the possibility to force an architecture
by Lukas Fleischer 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Among other things, 36459f3 ([archiso] Drop aitab support, 2014-06-28) removed the possibility to manually set a specific architecture by using kernel parameters. This, however, is useful, e.g. when installing Arch Linux on a device that reports itself as i586 but works fine with the i686 flavor.
