Not that mkinitcpio-0.8.0 hits core, I pushed all archiso patched to master. Wait for next next testbuild, or build yourself!
8bd0674 [archiso] Add DNS resolver support to archiso_pxe_common
The DNS resolver does not work. First, the symlinks /lib/libnss_{files,dns}.so.2 are missing, only the libnss_{files,dns}-2.14.1.so are there.
If I create the right symlinks, the resolver seems to do something, but times out. Using an IP address works fine. I don't know what's wrong with the resolver, I might have a look later.
I inserted an IP address instead of a name for the moment, you can try netbooting by running qemu -m 1G -kernel gpxe.lkrn [1] Download takes a while, but the image boots up fine.
Okay, I think I found the problem: The ip= command line option doesn't pass a DNS server! The ipconfig utility simply uses the same as the remote server - which is wrong in the case of qemu. Instead of IPAPPEND 3, I now use ip=dhcp and the resolver works. However, you still need to create the libnss_*.so.2 symlinks manually right now.
